Make _added_during_commit a regular instance variable.  Don't use
try/finally to reset it; just clear it at the start of a transaction.
XXX There was a test that needed to be removed, but it seemed to be
just a shallow test that try/finally was used.  Can't see any feature
that depends on specific of error handling: The txn is going to abort.

Remove unused _opened instance variable.
Split commit() into two smaller parts.
Get rid of extra manipulation of _creating.
Don't look for _p_serial of None; z64 is now required.
Undo local variable aliases in subtransaction methods.

Also, trivial change to pickle cache API -- get() works like dict get().
