(Note this PR isn't targeting the

branch)Description
This PR wraps SQLite query execution in a transaction, or in a nested transaction if one is already in progress.
Why?
Many MySQL queries require more than one SQLite query, for example
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN col1 text, ADD COLUMN col1 text
. At the moment, the first part of the ALTER query will succeed and the second one will fail – leaving the database in an undefined, broken state. This PR makes SQLite queries as atomic as their MySQL counterparts. They'll either all succeed or all fail.cc @aristath @swissspidy
