It seems strange RESET SESSION would not terminate open transactions,
but on the other hand calling RESET SESSION in a transaction seems odd
too.
I think we should at least throw an error if someone tries RESET SESSION
inside a transaction, and hopefully administrators will realize they
have a problem. Perhaps we can even offer a hint how to close open
transactions.
