[PR] Make LocalExecutor work under heavy load [airflow]

ashb opened a new pull request, #47678:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/47678

   This change seems innocuous, and possibly even wrong, but it is the correct
   behaviour since #47320 landed. We _do not_ want to call dispose_orm, as that
   ends up reconnecting, and sometimes this results in the wrong connection
   being shared between the parent and the child. I don't love the "sometimes"
   nature of this bug, but the fix seems sound.
   
   Prior to this running one or two runs concurrently would result in the
   scheduler handing (stuck in SQLA code trying to roll back) or an error from
   psycopg about "error with status PGRES_TUPLES_OK and no message from the libpq".
   
   With this change we were able to repeatedly run 10 runs concurrently.
   
   The reason we don't want this is that we registered an at_fork handler already
   that closes/discards the socket object (without closing the DB level session)
   so calling dispose can, perversely, resurrect that object and try reusing it!

Review Comment:
   This is so that executor.heartbeat is not called during an active transaction -- given we don't pass a session on, if a specific executor wants to do DB actions it will need to create it's own session anyway.

   This was just to make the error message unambiguously from us/Airflow.
