odb: add transaction interface

Transactions are managed via the {begin,end}_odb_transaction() function in the object-file subsystem and its implementation is specific to the files object source. Introduce odb_transaction_{begin,commit}() in the odb subsystem to provide an eventual object source agnostic means to manage transactions. Update call sites to instead manage transactions through the odb subsystem. Also rename {begin,end}_odb_transaction() functions to object_file_transaction_{begin,commit}() to clarify the object source it supports.
