Set transaction isolation level in config/database.yml

[kondo-dc]

If you use MySQL and MariaDB with Redmine 5.1.1 or later, you need to set the transaction isolation level in config/database.yml.
For MySQL version 5.7.20 or older and MariaDB, the setting is tx_isolation instead of transaction_isolation.

So, It might be a good idea to edit docker-entrypoint.sh so that the transaction isolation level can be set in /config/database.yml.

The following is a temporary improvement in my environment.
Since I am using MariaDB, only "tx_isolation" is considered, but it should be possible to switch to "transaction_isolation".

I agree that correct setting of transaction isolation should be presented out of the box and asked earlier. See more in the #303 and related comment.

Thanks for your advice.

I am building my own environment on AWS and using RDS.
I don't configure the DB in docker-compose.yml, so it would be easier if I could configure it in the redmine container.

If this issue is not supported, I would like to change my RDS configuration or continue with my current solution.
