Re: [w3c/IndexedDB] Allow more explicit control over transaction lifetimes (#34)

We discussed this at TPAC 2024 again and I believe there was more or less consensus on this option:

> `IDBDatabase.transaction()` add an option `manualCommit: true`; `commit()` must be called explicitly.

The advantages are that it's simple to understand and implement.

The main drawback is that it's a footgun to make it possible to wedge an entire database by forgetting to call `commit()`. Offsetting this is that (a) this is a non-default, i.e. advanced, usage pattern and (b) most IDB usage is via wrapper libraries that will hopefully make it harder to misuse. However I filed #425 to see if we can create a secondary safety mechanism to protect against misuse.
