11. Relating an object to itself, many-to-one
To define a many-to-one relationship between a model and itself, use
``ForeignKey('self')``.
In this example, a ``Category`` is related to itself. That is, each
``Category`` has a parent ``Category``.
Set ``related_name`` to designate what the reverse relationship is called.
