Description:
------------
It's not possible to get the status of $autocommit; the
variable is declared private, and there is no method to access
it.

This makes it impossible to, for example, save & restore the
autocommit state.

I think that the following change should be made:

- $autocommit should be declared in DB_common, with an initial
value of true. Since some back-ends don't support
transactions, this is an accurate representation of their
behavior.
- DB_common::$autocommit should be declared public.

I'd be happy to submit a patch for this.
