Allow ref_transaction_free to be called with NULL and in extension allow ref_transaction_rollback to be called for a NULL transaction.

This allows us to write code that will
  if ( (!transaction ||
        ref_transaction_update(...))  ||
      (ref_transaction_commit(...) && !(transaction = NULL)) {
          ref_transaction_rollback(transaction);
          ...
  }

In this case transaction is reset to NULL IFF ref_transaction_commit() was invoked and thus the rollback becomes ref_transaction_rollback(NULL) which is safe. IF the conditional triggered prior to ref_transaction_commit() then transaction is untouched and then ref_transaction_rollback(transaction) will rollback the failed transaction.
