 Noticed during #34778 that despite good coverage for the django-admin
 commands in `tests/admin_scripts`, the coverage report suggests only 12%
 coverage for `django/core/management/templates.py`.

 This is because using coverage.py to trace code launched by a subprocess
 (and not through multiprocessing) requires
 [https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/stable/subprocess.html additional
 configuration], e.g. adding code to sitecustomize.py or creating a .pth
 file.

 Perhaps we could look into creating a tempdir with a .pth file to run the
 needed coverage.py configuration while running tests.
