oxenstored: discard old commit-history on txn end

The history of commits is to be used for working out which historical
commit(s) (including atomic writes) caused conflicts with a
currently-failing commit of a transaction. Any commit that was made
before the current transaction started cannot be relevant. Therefore
we never need to keep history from before the start of the
longest-running transaction that is open at any given time: whenever a
transaction ends (with or without a commit) then if it was the
longest-running open transaction we can delete history up until start
of the the next-longest-running open transaction.

Some transactions might stay open for a very long time, so if any
transaction exceeds conflict_max_history_seconds then we remove it
from consideration in this context, and will not guarantee to keep
remembering about historical commits made during such a transaction.

We implement this by keeping a list of all open transactions that have
not been open too long. When a transaction ends, we remove it from the
list, along with any that have been open longer than the maximum; then
we delete any history from before the start of the longest-running
transaction remaining in the list.
