    oxenstored: blame the connection that caused a transaction conflict
    
    Blame each connection found to have made a commit that would cause this
    transaction to fail. Each blamed connection is penalised by having its
    conflict-credit decremented.
    
    Note the change in semantics for the replay function: we no longer stop 
after
    finding the first operation that can't be replayed. This allows us to 
identify
    all operations that conflicted with this transaction, not just the one that
    conflicted first.

    v1 Reviewed-by: Christian Lindig <christian.lindig@xxxxxxxxxx>
    
    Changes since v1:
     * use correct log levels for informational messages
    Changes since v2:
     * fix the blame algorithm and improve logging
       (fix was reviewed by Jonathan Davies)
