Add ndb.non_transaction(...)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

NDB provides ndb.transaction(callback, **ctx_options) and 
ndb.transaction_async(callback, **ctx_options) functions to go with the 
@ndb.transactional decorator.

Please also provide ndb.non_transaction_async(callback, **ctx_options) and 
ndb.non_transaction(callback, **ctx_options) functions to go with the 
@ndb.non_transactional decorator for completeness and to safely allow the 
running of non transactional code within tasklets.

@non_transactional_aync would not actually be useful as @non_transactional just 
reconfigures local context state.

@ndb.non_transactional
@ndb.tasklet
def non_transactional_tasklet():
  ...

should work today and

@ndb.transactional_async
@ndb.tasklet
def transactional_tasklet():
  ...

will work as soon as 1.8.3 is out.

Thought it might be useful to add a normal function version of 
@non_transactional, though you can do that today using:
ndb.non_transactional(callback, ...)()
