Michael Haggerty d1dd721f11 refs.h: remove duplication in function docstrings
Add more information to the comment introducing the four reference
transaction update functions, so that each function's docstring
doesn't have to repeat it. Add a pointer from the individual
functions' docstrings to the introductory comment.

/*
* A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
* that should succeed or fail together.
*
* Calling sequence
* ----------------
* - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
* `ref_transaction_begin()`.
*
* - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
* `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
*
* - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
* If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
* the transaction cannot be rolled back.
*
* - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
* transaction and free associated resources. In particular,
* this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
* successfully committed.
*
* Error handling
* --------------
*
* On error, transaction functions append a message about what
* went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
* ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
* can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
*
* The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
* err will not be '\n' terminated.
