    oxenstored: allow self-conflicts
    
    We already avoid inter-domain conflicts but now allow intra-domain
    conflicts.  Although there are no known practical examples of a domain
    that might perform operations that conflict with its own transactions,
    this is conceivable, so here we avoid changing those semantics
    unnecessarily.
    
    When a transaction commit fails with a conflict and we look through
    the history of commits to see which connection(s) to blame, ignore
    historical commits that were made by the same connection as the
    failing commit.
