added DanglingReferenceError. A new exception for storages to report the fact that a transaction is storing a reference to an object that does not exist. Doing this is 'a bad thing', although it is not entirely clear that it is prohibited. So far only DirectoryStorage makes this check. This is given its own exception class because some code may be able to catch it, and regenerate the object that the storage thinks does not exist.

A new script, stats.py, is provided to analyze statistics.

As suggested by Toby Dickenson.

The ImmediateCommitStrategy storage is not a ZEOStorage, but a FileStorage.

when the connection is closed is called 'close()' when it doesn't
close the manager, but tells the manager that one particular
connection is closed.  Rename it to 'close_conn()'.

The previous code just called tpc_abort() on the server, but that
wouldn't restart any waiting transaction.

- Add some expository comments.

- Add some asserts documenting non-obvious assumptions.

- Make modifiedInVersion a delegated method, since it does nothing
  special.

- Fix a bug in undo(); it was passing a list of triples (oid,None,'')
  to the server.invalidate() call rather than a list of tuples
  (oid,'').  There are no unit tests for undo(), so this was never
  caught.  I guess few people care about undo() now that we have
  transactionalUndo().

- In ImmediateCommitStrategy.store(), only catch exceptions that
  inherit from Exception raised by the storage's store() call; the
  client is only checking for those in the list of serials.
