Fixed #19861 -- Transaction ._dirty flag improvement

There were a couple of errors in ._dirty flag handling:
  * It started as None, but was never reset to None.
  * The _dirty flag was sometimes used to indicate if the connection
    was inside transaction management, but this was not done
    consistently. This also meant the flag had three separate values.
  * The None value had a special meaning, causing for example inability
    to commit() on new connection unless enter/leave tx management was
    done.
  * The _dirty was tracking "connection in transaction" state, but only
    in managed transactions.
  * Some tests never reset the transaction state of the used connection.
  * And some additional less important changes.

This commit has some potential for regressions, but as the above list
shows, the current situation isn't perfect either.
Refactored database exceptions wrapping.

    Removed redundant exception wrapping.

    This is now taken care of by the cursor wrapper.

    Wrapped database exceptions in the base backend.

    This covers the most common PEP-249 APIs:
    - Connection APIs: close(), commit(), rollback(), cursor()
    - Cursor APIs: callproc(), close(), execute(), executemany(),
      fetchone(), fetchmany(), fetchall(), nextset().

    Fixed #19920.

    It re-throws backend-specific exceptions using Django's common wrappers.
