Extracted from: #50999
Some tests may use the connections in ways that cause the fixtures transaction to be committed or rolled back. The typical case being doing schema change query in MySQL, which automatically commits the transaction. But ther eare more subtle cases.
The general idea here is to ensure our transaction is correctly rolling back during teardown. If it fails, then we assume something might have mutated some of the inserted fixtures, so we invalidate the cache to ensure the next test will reset them.
This issue is particularly common in Active Record's own test suite since transaction fixtures are enabled by default but we have many tests create tables and such.
We could treat this case as an error, but since we can gracefully recover from it, I don't think it's worth it.
