Packing to a time earlier than the last pack can cause serious data
lossage.

got registered. (Deja vu all over again. ;)

Changed to commit objects in registration order and to allow
additional objects to get registered while commiting. (The
later was wanted by PJE.)

Added a comment in commit to explain the "invariant".

Fixed bug that caused objects to get multiply aborted.  Now always
clear object registry on commit and abort. This seems like a good
idea anyway. (We were relying on free_transaction to have the
same effect. This faild miserably in single-threaded apps and
in certain error conditions.

Added a teeny optimization in get_transaction().

transparent Pythonic sematics for __setattr__ and __delattr__.
If these methods are implemented, then they *must*::

  self._p_changed=1 # prefered

or::

  self.__changed__(1) # if people get the heebe-jeebees from setting attrs

to manually register that an object's persistent state has changed, if,
in fact, it has.

Fixed "while objects" loop in commit to do the right thing with the object list element (toss it) if it doesn't have a _p_jar.  Not doing this was causing an infinite loop.

Added macro, PERSISTENCE_FLAGS, that contains the standard persistence ExtensionClass class flags. This macro is provided to make it easier to maintain persistent base classes.
