Create a manage.py command to truncate all tables

We currently have reset_db, but when I am creating my test databases, I have to run manage.py migrate afterwards, and that takes a few seconds.

And even worse, I can’t drop tables on Heroku: https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/issues/909

It would be faster if I could just truncate all tables instead.

Update: I’m not happy with python manage.py sqlflush | python manage.py dbshell because it does a DELETE, which could be slower, and does not reset primary key indexes, which makes it harder to setup my test database that uses explicit indexes.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. Does python manage.py sqlflush | python manage.py dbshell do the job?
