This solves #2047
I've added the ability to override the autocommit property in Postgres Queries (used by Redshift Queries) - this will allow the user to make queries in autocommit mode as some operations require this.
The user only needs to set:
autocommit = True
in their RedshiftQuery subclass to make use of it.
Specifically this was done so that we could run VACUUMs in Redshift from Luigi.
I've tested it locally against our database, but I couldn't get the tox tests to run on my machine.
(Sorry for the 2 separate commits, it seems my attempt at squashing them failed)
