Version 16.0.0

* Use autocommit false with findIterate for Postgres

* Use autocommit false with findIterate for Postgres

* Use autocommit false with FindDto queries for Postgres

* Use autocommit false with SqlQuery findIterate queries for Postgres

* Ensure that TransactionFactory.createReadOnlyTransaction() returns an ImplicitReadOnlyTransaction

This change changes TransactionFactoryTenant.createReadOnlyTransaction() to return a ImplicitReadOnlyTransaction, as that is now used to support Postgres use of cursors with findIterate style queries.
