Stop swallowing commit/rollback errors in __exit__

ISSUE-09 — Connection.__exit__ / AsyncConnection.__aexit__ used to wrap
commit/rollback in 'except Exception: pass'. Any real production error
(network drops, disk-full, protocol-level bugs) was silently dropped,
leading to unnoticed data loss or confusing downstream failures. Now
the clean-exit commit failure propagates; on body-exception exit the
body's error still wins but rollback failures are attached via
__context__ instead of being lost.

Concomitantly, ISSUE-08's "silent no-op when never used" contract is
preserved: the existing test_commit_no_spurious_connect tests lock in
that commit() before any query is a no-op, and that is still the case.
The 'no transaction is active' server error is now swallowed inside
commit()/rollback() themselves (matches stdlib sqlite3 semantics)
rather than being suppressed at the context-manager level.
