When committing an ODB transaction via `odb_transaction_commit()`, the staged objects are made visible and the underlying transaction is freed at the same time. Coupling these two steps does not leave room for any post-commit transaction operations to be introduced though. Such a capability is useful if an ODB transaction backend needs to hold on to lockfiles after transaction commit until references are updated, as is the case with the existing "files" backend in git-receive-pack(1).
Stop freeing the transaction in `odb_transaction_commit()` and introduce `odb_transaction_finalize()` to explicitly clean up the transaction accordingly. Note that the finalize interface also provides an optional callback for any backend-specific deferred cleanup. In a subsequent commit, the "files" transaction backend will use this to remove ".keep" files generated for packfiles received via git-receive-pack(1) after references have been updated. In preparation for this, the `odb_transaction_finalize()` call site in git-receive-pack(1) is made after the reference updates are finished.
