Subject: tools/xenstore: harden transaction finalization against errors

When finalizing a transaction, any error occurring after checking for
conflicts will result in the transaction being performed only
partially today. Additionally accounting data will not be updated at
the end of the transaction, which might result in further problems
later.

Avoid those problems by multiple modifications:

- free any transaction specific nodes which don't need to be committed
  as they haven't been written during the transaction as soon as their
  generation count has been verified, this will reduce the risk of
  out-of-memory situations

- store the transaction specific node name in struct accessed_node in
  order to avoid the need to allocate additional memory for it when
  finalizing the transaction

- don't stop the transaction finalization when hitting an error
  condition, but try to continue to handle all modified nodes

- in case of a detected error do the accounting update as needed and
  call the data base checking only after that

- if writing a node in a transaction is failing (e.g. due to a failed
  quota check), fail the transaction, as prior changes to struct
  accessed_node can't easily be undone in that case

This is part of XSA-421 / CVE-2022-42326.
