Description:
Brian has heard customer requests for blackhole to support transactions.
This means that if a transaction is rolled back on a blackhole table, the transaction should not be inserted in the binlog. Currently what happens is a warning is thrown and the transaction goes into the binlog anyway.

This is also needed as a first step to getting 2-phase commit support into blackhole which is needed to reproduce some bugs that were identified during a recent code review.

This change is trivial and has been sitting on my computer for far too long.

How to repeat:
reset master;
create table t1(a int) engine=blackhole;
set autocommit=0;
start transaction;
insert into t1 values(1);
rollback;
# observe that a warning is shown here
show warnings;
show binlog events;
# observe that the insert went to binlog even though the transaction was rolled back.

Suggested fix:
return 1 from has_transactions() in blackhole.
