oxenstored: handling of domain conflict-credit
This commit gives each domain a conflict-credit variable, which will
later be used for limiting how often a domain can cause other domain's
transaction-commits to fail.
This commit also provides functions and data for manipulating domains
and their conflict-credit, and checking whether they have credit.
