Don't log package updates in Python when we have DB trigger support

This adds a helper method to find the database engine in use, and then
skips code we shouldn't execute if we are doing this another way.

Note that this helper method could be useful for backend-specific code
paths elsewhere, such as custom SQL being called or lack of StdDev() in
sqlite3 out of the box.
