Remove test dependency on django guardian

An ObjectPermissionBackend is added which is similar to the one
in guardian.backends.ObjectPermissionBackend for test support.
The differences are that:
  - Permissions can only be assigned to groups
  - The object permissions are stored in a defaultdict
  - Permissions can only be assigned using app_label.codename

This allows DRF to be released without waiting for django-guardian
to update.
