Thanks intgr for the report.
This commit doesn't include a test because I don't know how to emulate a
database disconnection in a cross-database compatible way.
Also simplified a 'backends' test that was constrained by this problem.
Backport of 81761508 from master
When settings.DATABASES['default']['AUTOCOMMIT'] = False, the connection
wasn't in autocommit mode but Django pretended it was.
Thanks Anssi for analysing this issue.
Refs #17062.

It doesn't work as one might expect on a certain database backend where
autocommits_when_autocommit_is_off = True. That backend happens to be
popular for running tests.

Add support for Oracle, fix an issue with the repr of RawQuerySet,
add tests and documentations. Also added a 'supports_paramstyle_pyformat'
database feature, True by default, False for SQLite.
Thanks Donald Stufft for review of documentation.
Queries can contain binary data undecodable with utf-8. In this
case, using the 'replace' errors mode when decoding seems like
an acceptable representation of the query.
Thanks Marcel Ryser for the report.
Previously, depending on the database backend or the cursor type,
you'd need to double the percent signs in the query before passing
it to cursor.execute. Now cursor.execute consistently need percent
doubling whenever params argument is not None (placeholder substitution
will happen).
Thanks Thomas Güttler for the report and Walter Doekes for his work
on the patch.
For users who didn't activate autocommit in their database options, this
is backwards-incompatible in "non-managed" aka "auto" transaction state.
This state now uses database-level autocommit instead of ORM-level
autocommit.
Also removed the uses_autocommit feature which lost its purpose.
