Add workaround for UPDATE with subquery when using MySQL

When trying to run an UPDATE, this query is ran:

```sql
UPDATE `todos`
INNER JOIN `projects` ON `projects`.`id` = `todos`.`project_id`
SET `todos`.`state` = 'done'
WHERE `todos`.`user_id` = 4
  AND (`todos`.`state` IN ('pending'))
  AND (EXISTS
         (SELECT 1
          FROM `project_authorizations`
          WHERE `project_authorizations`.`user_id` = 4
            AND (project_authorizations.project_id = projects.id))
       OR projects.visibility_level IN (10,
                                        20))
  AND `projects`.`id` IN
    (SELECT `todos`.`project_id`
     FROM `todos`
     WHERE `todos`.`user_id` = 4
       AND (`todos`.`state` IN ('pending')))
  AND (`todos`.`state` != 'done')
```

But MySQL does not like the subquery used to filter on
`projects.id IN (SELECT ...`

Because the subquery queries from the same table:

> Error: You can’t specify target table ‘todos’ for update in FROM clause

So as workaround, wrap it in another subquery, where the original
subquery is aliased using the `AS` statement.
