open() and begin() were redundant ways to start a transaction, and the strict "throw if already open" contract was incompatible with the embedded AUTO behavior: a read opens the transaction implicitly, so a later explicit begin() would throw even though the caller did nothing wrong. Collapsing to a single idempotent begin() makes explicit and implicit opens compose, and gives one consistent transaction-start verb across embedded, remote, and all GLVs. close() is made idempotent for the same reason — so the common try-with-resources / double-close patterns are safe rather than surprising. The base AbstractTransaction.begin() now opens via a guarded doOpen() so the contract holds for every provider (not just TinkerGraph) and MANUAL mode is no longer broken in the base class.
