Here is a patch against the original versions of these files; cleaned up
bufmgr.c somewhat. Adds the same logic to local buffers (moving the
BufferRefCount struct declaration to buf_internals.h so it's shared by
both bufmgr.c and localbuf.c). Needs xact.c and xact.h patched as in
the second patch.

As with the bufmgr.c original patch, I don't really know how to test
that this actually works. I fooled around with printing what it was
doing during a subtrans commit/abort, and it seems OK, but that's about
it. In what situations can a transaction roll back with a nonzero
reference count in a local buffer?
