* CORDA-3722 withEntityManager can rollback its session
## Summary
Improve the handling of database transactions when using
`withEntityManager` inside a flow.
Extra changes have been included to improve the safety and
correctness of Corda around handling database transactions.
This focuses on allowing flows to catch errors that occur inside an
entity manager and handle them accordingly.
Errors can be caught in two places:
- Inside `withEntityManager`
- Outside `withEntityManager`
Further changes have been included to ensure that transactions are
rolled back correctly.
## Catching errors inside `withEntityManager`
Errors caught inside `withEntityManager` require the flow to manually
`flush` the current session (the entity manager's individual session).
By manually flushing the session, a `try-catch` block can be placed
around the `flush` call, allowing possible exceptions to be caught.
Once an error is thrown from a call to `flush`, it is no longer possible
to use the same entity manager to trigger any database operations. The
only possible option is to rollback the changes from that session.
The flow can continue executing updates within the same session but they
will never be committed. What happens in this situation should be handled
by the flow. Explicitly restricting the scenario requires a lot of effort
and code. Instead, we should rely on the developer to control complex
workflows.
To continue updating the database after an error like this occurs, a new
`withEntityManager` block should be used (after catching the previous
error).
## Catching errors outside `withEntityManager`
Exceptions can be caught around `withEntityManager` blocks. This allows
errors to be handled in the same way as stated above, except the need to
manually `flush` the session is removed. `withEntityManager` will
automatically `flush` a session if it has not been marked for rollback
due to an earlier error.
A `try-catch` can then be placed around the whole of the
`withEntityManager` block, allowing the error to be caught while not
committing any changes to the underlying database transaction.
## Savepoints / Transactionality
To make `withEntityManager` blocks work like mini database transactions,
save points have been utilised. A new savepoint is created when opening
a `withEntityManager` block (along with a new session). It is then used
as a reference point to rollback to if the session errors and needs to
roll back. The savepoint is then released (independently from
completing successfully or failing).
Using save points means, that either all the statements inside the
entity manager are executed, or none of them are.
## Some implementation details
- A new session is created every time an entity manager is requested,
but this does not replace the flow's main underlying database session.
- `CordaPersistence.transaction` can now determine whether it needs
to execute its extra error handling code. This is needed to allow errors
escape `withEntityManager` blocks while allowing some of our exception
handling around subscribers (in `NodeVaultService`) to continue to work.

Observers registered on NodeVaultService#rawUpdates, if they throw an exception when called from serviceHub#recordTransactions and if this exception is not handled by the flow hospital, then this leads to the transaction not being recorded in the local vault. This could get the ledger in an out of sync state.
In the specific case this happens within FinalityFlow#notariseAndRecord this leads to the transaction being notarized but not recorded in the local vault nor broadcasted in any counter party. The -failed to be recorded locally- transaction and its output states are not visible to any vault, and its input states not able to consumed by a new transaction, since they are recorded as consumed within the Notary. In this specific case we need not loose, by any means, the current transaction.
We will handle all cases by catching all exceptions thrown from serviceHub#recordTransactions, wrapping them with a HospitalizeFlowException and throwing it instead. The flow will get to the hospital for observation to be retried from previous checkpoint on next node restart.
Deprecate FlowAsyncOperation and reimplement public versions FlowExternalOperation and FlowExternalAsyncOperation.
await added to FlowLogic to allow easy calling from both Java and Kotlin. There are two overrides of await (one for FlowExternalOperation and FlowExternalAsyncOperation).
Implementations of FlowExternalOperation return a result (written as blocking code) from their execute function. This operation will then be executed using a thread provided by the externalOperationExecutor.
Implementations of FlowExternalAsyncOperation return a future from their execute function. This operation must be executed on a newly spawned thread or one provided by a thread pool. It is up to developers to handle threading in this scenario.
The default thread pool (externalOperationExecutor) can be configured through the flowExternalOperationThreadPoolSize node config.
The current implementation leaves FlowAsyncOperation alone, meaning that any developers that have used it (even though it is internal) won't need to change their apps. If this was not concern I would delete it completely and replumb the state machine code. Instead, it has been marked with @DoNotImplement and executeAsync is annotated with @Deprecated
