I proposed this in https://github.com/django/new-features/issues/138 and
it is now accepted.

Rename `savepoint` to `savepoint_create` and add a new `savepoint`
function as a deprecated alias or wrapper for `savepoint_create`. Once the
deprecation period has ended remove `savepoint`. This will free the name
for use for a higher-level `savepoint` context manager.

Comment (by Samuel Searles-Bryant):

`BaseDatabaseWrapper` also has a `savepoint` method (and a private
`_savepoint`). We ''could'' also rename those, but that's not necessary.
