Description
Plugin installation is current wrapped in a database transaction (i.e. begin + rollback|commit). This is an issue however because many plugins create database tables, which performs an implicit commit. The PHP 7 PDO pretends like the commit hasn't happened and thus allowed us to make a call to commit|rollback. PHP 8 does not.
We should remove the database transaction since it causes issues and doesn't actually do anything for plugins that create a database table (which is most).
