Allow to register transaction callbacks outside of a record

+*   `ActiveRecord::Base.transaction` now yields an `ActiveRecord::Transation` object.
+
+    This allows to register callbacks on it.
+
+    ```ruby
+    Article.transaction do |transaction|
+      article.update(published: true)
+      transaction.after_commit do
+        PublishNotificationMailer.with(article: article).deliver_later

+
+    *Jean Boussier*
+
+*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base.current_transaction`.
+
+    Returns the current transaction, to allow registering callbacks on it.
+
+    ```ruby
+    Article.current_transaction.after_commit do
+      PublishNotificationMailer.with(article: article).deliver_later
+    end
+    ```
+
+    *Jean Boussier*
+
+*   Add `ActiveRecord.after_all_transactions_commit` callback.
+
+    Useful for code that may run either inside or outside a transaction and need
+    to perform works after the state changes have been properly peristed.
+
+    ```ruby
+    def publish_article(article)
+      article.update(published: true)
+      ActiveRecord.after_all_transactions_commit do
+        PublishNotificationMailer.with(article: article).deliver_later
+      end
+    end
+    ```
+
+    In the above example, the block is either executed immediately if called outside
+    of a transaction, or called after the open transaction is committed.
+
+    If the transaction is rolled back, the block isn't called.
+
+    *Jean Boussier*

 *   Add the ability to ignore counter cache columns until they are backfilled
 
     Starting to use counter caches on existing large tables can be troublesome, because the column
