Prohibit transaction commands in security definer procedures
Starting and aborting transactions in security definer procedures
doesn't work. StartTransaction() insists that the security context
stack is empty, so this would currently cause a crash, and
AbortTransaction() resets it. This could be made to work by
reorganizing the code, but right now we just prohibit it.
