To quote the function's comment:
Awful hack to handle timeouts in SQLite: just retry the transaction.
DBD::SQLite *has* a 30 second retry window, but apparently it
doesn't work.
Since SQLite is now dropped entirely, this wrapper can be removed
completely.
SQLite isn't properly supported by Hydra for a few years now[1], but
Hydra still depends on it. Apart from a slightly bigger closure this can
cause confusion by users since Hydra picks up SQLite rather than
PostgreSQL by default if HYDRA_DBI isn't configured properly[2]

Apparentely, buildEnv in 20.03 no longer respects
propagated-build-inputs.
Note that the use of a library function (closePropagation) seems
fundamentally wrong to me - propagated-build-inputs should be used at
runtime, not at evaluation time.
If we don't see machine that supports a build step for
'max_unsupported_time' seconds, the step is aborted. The default is 0,
which is appropriate for Hydra installations that don't provision
missing machines dynamically.
