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.

Allowed nesting constraint_checks_disabled inside atomic.
Since MySQL handles transactions loosely, this isn't a problem.

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.

commit 8e3db393853c7ac64a445b66e57f3620a3fde7b0

Replaced manual savepoints by atomic blocks.
This ensures the rollback flag is handled consistently in internal APIs.
Previously, if a database request spanned a related object manager, the
first manager encountered would cause a request to the router, and this
would bind all subsequent queries to the same database returned by the
router. Unfortunately, the first router query would be performed using
a read request to the router, resulting in bad routing information being
used if the subsequent query was actually a write.
This change defers the call to the router until the final query is acutally
made.
It includes a small *BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY* on an edge case - see the
release notes for details.
Thanks to Paul Collins (@paulcollinsiii) for the excellent debugging
work and patch.
* Move the discussion of CachedStaticFilesStorage to the section about
HTTP. It's really about client-side caching. It doesn't fit with the
caching utilities from django.utils.functional.
* Tone down the warning against Pypy as per Alex' feedback. It's a valid
choice for advanced users who are comfortable using a non-standard
stack.
* Generally reworded the 'Using different versions of available software'
section.
* Some other minor adjustments to the document.
