The ticket was originally about two failing tests, which are
fixed by putting their queries in transactions.
Thanks Tim Graham for the report, Aymeric Augustin for the fix,
and Simon Charette, Tim Graham & Loïc Bistuer for review.
Backport of b990df1d63 from master
Clarified that queries in autocommit mode are committed immediately
only if a transaction has not already been started. Added to the
main transaction docs that Django's TestCase class implicitly wraps
its tests in transactions.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
Thanks dan at dlo.me for the initial patch.
- Added __pow__ and __rpow__ to ExpressionNode
- Added oracle and mysql specific power expressions
- Added used-defined power function for sqlite

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.

Replaced manual savepoints by atomic blocks.
This ensures the rollback flag is handled consistently in internal APIs.
