[whatwg] executeSql API is synchronous

[Timothy Hatcher]

The pain of asynchronous access can be alleviated or even solved with  
an API for transactions, or a group of SQL queries that need be  
executed in order. Commonly, if a transaction fails in the middle, the  
database is rolled-back to the state before the transaction started.

There can then be a callback when the transaction finished or fails,  
with details on what query failed.
