Since Faker 4.9.0 there has been support to generate unique values. This is really helpful when
dealing with unique constraint on a field generated by factory boy. The test can be flaky if you use
faker without the "unique" feature on an ORM field with an unique constraint.
The usage with factory boy is simple as this:
```
class UserFactory(fatory.Factory):
class Meta:
model = User
arrival = factory.Faker(
'date_between_dates',
date_start=datetime.date(2020, 1, 1),
date_end=datetime.date(2020, 5, 31),
unique=True # The generated date is guaranteed to be unique inside the test execution.
)
```
The unique keyword can be passed on every faker providers. If `True` the faker object passes through
the Faker Unique Proxy, making sure the generated value has not been already generated before. Note
that the default unique keyword value is `False`.

This pull request follows on from the abandoned #820. The code is simplified and follows the same pattern used when specifying the locale for Faker.
