This feature allows the default `TIMEOUT` Cache argument to be set to `None`,
so that cache instances can set a non-expiring key as the default,
instead of using the default value of 5 minutes.
Previously, this was possible only by passing `None` as an argument to
the set() method of objects of type `BaseCache` (and subtypes).
This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
Thanks Curtis Malony and Florian Apolloner.

Fixed#21012 -- Thread-local caches, like databases.
* Safer for use in multiprocess environments
* Better random culling
* Cache files use less disk space
* Safer delete behavior
Also fixed#15806, fixed#15825.
The precision of time.time() is OS specific and it is possible for the
resolution to be low enough to allow reading a cache key previously set
with a timeout of 0.
DatabaseCache uses raw cursors to bypass the ORM. This prevents it from
being used by database backends that require special handling of datetime
values.
There is no easy way to test this, so no tests added.
Thanks Anssi for haggling until I implemented this.
This change alleviates the need for atomic_if_autocommit. When
autocommit is disabled for a database, atomic will simply create and
release savepoints, and not commit anything. This honors the contract of
not doing any transaction management.
This change also makes the hack to allow using atomic within the legacy
transaction management redundant.
None of the above will work with SQLite, because of a flaw in the design
of the sqlite3 library. This is a known limitation that cannot be lifted
without unacceptable side effects eg. triggering arbitrary commits.
Since "unless managed" now means "if database-level autocommit",
committing or rolling back doesn't have any effect.
Restored transactional integrity in a few places that relied on
automatically-started transactions with a transitory API.
There was a problem caused by Postgres 9.0+ having bytea_output default
value of 'hex' and cache backend inserting the content as 'bytes' into
a column of type TEXT. Fixed by converting the bytes value to a string
before insert.
