fully support isolation_level parameter in base dialect

Generalized the :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.isolation_level` parameter to
the base dialect so that it is no longer dependent on individual dialects
to be present. This parameter sets up the "isolation level" setting to
occur for all new database connections as soon as they are created by the
connection pool, where the value then stays set without being reset on
every checkin.

The :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.isolation_level` parameter is essentially
equivalent in functionality to using the
:paramref:`_engine.Engine.execution_options.isolation_level` parameter via
:meth:`_engine.Engine.execution_options` for an engine-wide setting. The
difference is in that the former setting assigns the isolation level just
once when a connection is created, the latter sets and resets the given
level on each connection checkout.
