Please note that this patch does not change the use of database session
in MBS. So, in the frontend, the database session is still managed by
Flask-SQLAlchemy, that is the db.session. And the backend, running event
handlers, has its own database session created from SQLAclehmy session
API directly.
This patch aims to reduce the number of scoped_session created when call
original function make_db_session. For technical detailed information,
please refer to SQLAlchemy documentation Contextual/Thread-local
Sessions.
As a result, a global scoped_session is accessible from the
code running inside backend, both the event handlers and functions
called from handlers. The library code shared by frontend and backend,
like resolvers, has no change.
Similarly, db.session is only used to recreate database for every test.
