Fixed #8261 -- ModelAdmin hook for customising the "show on site" button

``ModelAdmin.view_on_site`` defines wether to show a link to the object on the
admin detail page. If ``True``, cleverness (i.e. ``Model.get_absolute_url``) is
used to get the url. If it's a callable, the callable is called with the object
as the only parameter. If ``False``, not link is displayed.

With the aim of maitaining backwards compatibility, ``True`` is the default.
