Remove O(N^2) performance issue with multiple SAVEPOINTs.

Subtransaction locks now released en masse at main commit, rather than
repeatedly re-scanning for locks as we ascend the nested transaction tree.
Split transaction state TBLOCK_SUBEND into two states, TBLOCK_SUBCOMMIT
and TBLOCK_SUBRELEASE to allow the commit path to be optimised using
the existing code in ResourceOwnerRelease() which appears to have been
intended for this usage, judging from comments therein.
