run_transaction utilizes the special 'cockroach_restart' protocol, as per: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/nested-transactions-in-cockroachdb-20-1/
In order to support nested transactions, the cockroach_restart protocol for nested transactions can be related on versions after v20.1.
The motivation for this change was to allow multiple nested transactions to occur over the same engine connection and high level transaction (BEGIN/COMMIT). This allows one nested transaction to perform an INSERT or UPDATE, while subsequent transactions could retrieve that result (before the final COMMIT). This primarily works around conditions in sqlalchemy, where one would like to perform an orm.flush(), but cannot, when utilizing the cockroach run_transaction model.
By default the run_transaction defaults to using the cockroach_restart protocol, so no observed behavior is seen to current users.
