[PATCH v10 21/44] refs.c: ref_transaction_commit should not free the transaction

Change ref_transaction_commit so that it does not free the transaction. Instead require that a caller will end a transaction by calling ref_transaction_free.

By having the transaction object remaining valid after _commit returns allows
us to write much nicer code and still be able to call ref_transaction_free
safely. Instead of this horribleness
	t = ref_transaction_begin();
	if ((!t ||
	    ref_transaction_update(t, refname, sha1, oldval, flags,
				   !!oldval)) ||
	    (ref_transaction_commit(t, action, &err) && !(t = NULL))) {
		ref_transaction_free(t);
we can now just do the much nicer
	t = ref_transaction_begin();
	if (!t ||
	    ref_transaction_update(t, refname, sha1, oldval, flags,
				   !!oldval) ||
	    ref_transaction_commit(&t, action, &err)) {
		ref_transaction_free(t);
		... die/return ...
	ref_transaction_free(transaction);
