Turns out that the inner `Meta` class is accessible for some models, but not others. Added `class Meta` only to stub model classes where it's accessible from outside (e.g. `AbstractBaseUser.Meta` does not crash with AttributeError).

Oh, I am lost! :)
So, what will happen now if we inherit some model with existing Meta and create our own Meta?
Can we:
- Inherit
Metaas well as inclass MyModel(SomeModel): class Meta(SomeModel.Meta)? - Or do we have to use
# type: ignore? - Can we use
.Metaon these types?
Do we need to test any of these?
| class Meta: | ||
| verbose_name: str | ||
| verbose_name_plural: str | ||
| abstract: bool |

I think using Literal[True] here won't help anyone, to the contrary.
If the user subclasses this Meta and sets abstract = False, mypy will consider that a type error since it's not True. But it would be perfectly legal usage.
