Hmm. I think this is losing the distinction of "flags the caller has
passed in to us" versus "flags we are using locally only during the
transaction_commit routine". If callers look at the flags in the
REF_TRANSACTION_CLOSED state, do they care about seeing these new flags?
My guess is probably not in practice, and "leaking" these flags is an
acceptable tradeoff for keeping the transaction_commit function simpler.
But I haven't looked that closely.
