Fix bgupdate error if index already exists (#2167)
When creating a new table index in the background, guard against it existing already. Fixes
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2135.

Also, make sure we restore the autocommit flag when we're done, otherwise we
get more failures from other operations later on. Fixes
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1890 (hopefully).
