Fix for CONPY-102:

Fixed default behavior of autocommit: If not autocommit mode was specified,
autocommit will be off by default (see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#commit).
Added new keyword autocommit for connection class which might have the following values:
- None: use server default setting
- True: turns autocommit on
- False: turns autocommit off
