// SetTransactionReadCommitted lowers the isolation of the current transaction
// to READ COMMITTED on CockroachDB. Multi-statement read transactions at
// SERIALIZABLE must refresh their whole read set when a concurrent write
// bumps the transaction timestamp, and surface RETRY_SERIALIZABLE to the
// client when the refresh fails; under READ COMMITTED every statement reads
// at its own timestamp and those conflicts are absorbed server-side. Must be
// called before the transaction runs its first query. Postgres already runs
// statements at READ COMMITTED by default, and MySQL's SET TRANSACTION
// applies to the next transaction rather than the current one, so every
// other dialect is a no-op. YugabyteDB maps READ COMMITTED to snapshot
// isolation unless yb_enable_read_committed_isolation is enabled, so it stays
// on the normal transaction retry path instead of using this CockroachDB-only
// override.
