Use pytest-django --reuse-db for faster tests

Pytest-django allows you to re-use database setups between tests for
quicker test runs. This is especially useful for large projects with many
migrations.

For example, here's a project of mine with 40+ migrations:

with --reuse-db
```
pytest --reuse-db  2.54s user 0.35s system 108% cpu 2.669 total
```

without --reuse-db
```
pytest 7.40s user 0.34s system 50% cpu 15.240 total
```

Caveat: if your model happens to change you need to manually --create-db
to ensure migrations are applied.
