Fixed #21134 -- Prevented queries in broken transactions.

Squashed commit of the following:

    Clarified interactions between atomic and exceptions.

    Fixed TransactionManagementError in tests.

    Previous commit introduced an additional check to prevent running
    queries in transactions that will be rolled back, which triggered a few
    failures in the tests. In practice using transaction.atomic instead of
    the low-level savepoint APIs was enough to fix the problems.

commit 4a639b059ea80aeb78f7f160a7d4b9f609b9c238

    Allowed nesting constraint_checks_disabled inside atomic.

    Since MySQL handles transactions loosely, this isn't a problem.

commit 2a4ab1cb6e83391ff7e25d08479e230ca564bfef
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>

    Prevented running queries in transactions that will be rolled back.

    This avoids a counter-intuitive behavior in an edge case on databases
    with non-atomic transaction semantics.

    It prevents using savepoint_rollback() inside an atomic block without
    calling set_rollback(False) first, which is backwards-incompatible in
    tests.

    Refs #21134.

    Replaced manual savepoints by atomic blocks.

    This ensures the rollback flag is handled consistently in internal APIs.

-        If you catch :exc:`~django.db.DatabaseError` or a subclass such as
-        :exc:`~django.db.IntegrityError` inside an ``atomic`` block, you will
-        hide from Django the fact that an error has occurred and that the
-        transaction is broken. At this point, Django's behavior is unspecified
-        and database-dependent. It will usually result in a rollback, which
-        may break your expectations, since you caught the exception.
+        When exiting an ``atomic`` block, Django looks at whether it's exited
+        normally or with an exception to determine whether to commit or roll
+        back. If you catch and handle exceptions inside an ``atomic`` block,
+        you may hide from Django the fact that a problem has happened. This
+        can result in unexpected behavior.
+
+        This is mostly a concern for :exc:`~django.db.DatabaseError` and its
+        subclasses such as :exc:`~django.db.IntegrityError`. After such an
+        error, the transaction is broken and Django will perform a rollback at
+        the end of the ``atomic`` block. If you attempt to run database
+        queries before the rollback happens, Django will raise a
+        :class:`~django.db.transaction.TransactionManagementError`. You may
+        also encounter this behavior when an ORM-related signal handler raises
+        an exception.
 
         The correct way to catch database errors is around an ``atomic`` block
         as shown above. If necessary, add an extra ``atomic`` block for this
-        purpose -- it's cheap! This pattern is useful to delimit explicitly
+        purpose. This pattern has another advantage: it delimits explicitly
         which operations will be rolled back if an exception occurs.
 
+        If you catch exceptions raised by raw SQL queries, Django's behavior
+        is unspecified and database-dependent.
+
     In order to guarantee atomicity, ``atomic`` disables some APIs. Attempting
     to commit, roll back, or change the autocommit state of the database
     connection within an ``atomic`` block will raise an exception.
