Matthijs Mekking e91fbd8dea Improve node reference counting
QP database node data is not reference counted the same way RBT nodes
were: in the RBT, node->references could be zero if the node was in the
tree but was not in use by any caller, whereas in the QP trie, the
database itself uses reference counting of nodes internally.

this caused some subtle errors. in RBTDB, when the newref() function is
called and the node reference count was zero, the node lock reference
counter would also be incremented. in the QP trie, this can never
happen - because as long as the node is in the database its reference
count cannot be zero - and so the node lock reference counter was never
incremented.

reference counting will probably need to be refactored in more detail
later; the node lock reference count may not be needed at all.  but
for now, as a temporary measure, we add a third reference counter,
'erefs' (external references), to the dns_qpdata structure. this is
counted separately from the main reference counter, and should match
the node reference count as it would have been in RBTDB.

this change revealed a number of places where the node reference counter
was being incremented on behalf of a caller without newref() being
called; those were cleaned up as well.

This is an adaptation of commit 3dd686261d2c4bcd15a96ebfea10baffa277732b
