I would like to state this explicitly: let's not expose SQL transactions in
the wc_db.h interface. This change keeps it within wc_db, but I would hate
to see it go further. I think that would be a horrible breakage of
encapsulation.

I recognize we need to grow the scope of transactions for speed purposes,
but let's do it in a way based on semantics rather than implementation. For
example: to speed checkout, we could have an API to add a complete directory
of nodes, rather than an API to start/end a txn across those single
additions.
