Merge branch 'non-reentrant-db-lock' into 'master'

Don't allow reentrant transactions

The database's transaction lock is reentrant, meaning that a thread that's already holding the lock can acquire it again. This would allow a thread that already has a transaction in progress to start another transaction, which could cause transaction isolation issues and/or lock timeouts on the database's internal locks.

Check that the current thread isn't already holding the lock when starting a transaction.
