[server] fix 'cnx' variable confusion in DBG_SQL exception case The rollback handling expects 'cnx' to be the cubicweb Connection, but the DBG_SQL block was replacing it with an sql connection, leading to lulz down the line. Also remove obsolete getattr (the sqlite wrapping is now done at the cnxset level, so cnx.cnxset.cnx should be the right thing already).

CubicWeb features
=================

This page  tries to resume features found in the bare cubicweb framework,
how mature and documented they are.

:code maturity (CM):

  - 0: experimental, not ready at all for production, may be killed

  - 1: draft / unsatisfying, api may change in a near future, much probably in long
       term

  - 2: good enough, api sounds good but will probably evolve a bit with more
    hindsight

  - 3: mature, backward incompatible changes unexpected (may still evolve though,
    of course)


:documentation level (DL):

  - 0: no documentation

  - 1: poor documentation

  - 2: some valuable documentation but some parts keep uncovered

  - 3: good / complete documentation
