[PATCH 02/20] refs.c: update ref_transaction_delete to check for error and return status

Change ref_transaction_delete() to do basic error checking and return non-zero of error. Update all callers to check the return for ref_transaction_delete(). There are currently no conditions in _delete that will return error but there will be in the future. Add an err argument that will be updated on failure.
