INTPYTHON-355 Revert transaction support

MongoDB's best practices for transactions ("use them only when needed")
isn't compatible with how Django uses atomic() internally. Instead, a
separate atomic() function for use in user code will be provided.

This reverts commit 4ca6c90.

-
-- :meth:`QuerySet.union() <django.db.models.query.QuerySet.union>` is not
-  supported inside a transaction.
-- If a transaction raises an exception, the transaction is no longer usable.
-  For example, if the update stage of :meth:`QuerySet.update_or_create()
-  <django.db.models.query.QuerySet.update_or_create>` fails with
-  :class:`~django.db.IntegrityError` due to a unique constraint violation, the
-  create stage won't be able to proceed.
-  :class:`pymongo.errors.OperationFailure` is raised, wrapped by
-  :class:`django.db.DatabaseError`.
-- Savepoints (i.e. nested :func:`~django.db.transaction.atomic` blocks) aren't
-  supported. The outermost :func:`~django.db.transaction.atomic` will start
-  a transaction while any subsequent :func:`~django.db.transaction.atomic`
-  blocks will have no effect.
-- Migration operations aren't :ref:`wrapped in a transaction
-  <topics/migrations:transactions>` because of MongoDB restrictions such as
-  adding indexes to existing collections while in a transaction.
