Add urlconf param to HttpRequest

[bigfootjon]

I have made things!

Ref the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/http/urls/#how-django-processes-a-request

Django determines the root URLconf module to use. Ordinarily, this is the value of the ROOT_URLCONF setting, but if the incoming HttpRequest object has a urlconf attribute (set by middleware), its value will be used in place of the ROOT_URLCONF setting.

I am not sure what to do here.

1. It is indeed assigned in a middleware
2. and used in several places: https://github.com/django/django/blob/e56a32b89bb7fadffdfaa2cdf12b4863ccd5af9b/django/middleware/locale.py#L20 and https://github.com/django/django/blob/e56a32b89bb7fadffdfaa2cdf12b4863ccd5af9b/django/middleware/common.py#L68
3. But, it is not a part of HttpRequest's public API: https://github.com/django/django/blob/e56a32b89bb7fadffdfaa2cdf12b4863ccd5af9b/django/http/request.py

This is documented here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/request-response/#attributes-set-by-application-code

I would suggest adding all of these and grouping them together with a link to the documentation.

Similarly, it's probably worth checking these and grouping them together also:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/request-response/#attributes-set-by-middleware

what about adding these properties as self.urlconf = None to HttpRequest.__init__?

None isn't a valid value - Django uses hasattr() to check for them...
