Log message:
    AUTOCOMMIT mode is now an available backend GUC variable; setting it
    to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
    I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
    is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
    autocommit off.  But it's a start.

    Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.
