This removes the "transaction monitor". Originally the idea here was things would queue, but we never really made that work. Since transactions started grabbing the libostree sysroot lock in particular. Rip out the transaction monitor code with the queue and have a singleton txn ref in the sysroot object. This should ensure that if a txn is active, one always gets an error message about which one. Next, add a 30s timeout for connections to the transaction DBus sockets after they're complete. This should address https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1692 which is a case where gnome-software was leaking the txn DBus connection and keeping it alive.

rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system
rpm-ostree combines libostree (an image system), with libdnf (a package system), bringing many of the benefits of both together.

Features:
- Transactional, background image-based (versioned/checksummed) upgrades
- OS rollback without affecting user data (
/usrbut not/etc,/var) via libostree - Client-side package layering (and overrides)

Projects using rpm-ostree
Project Atomic is an umbrella project for delivering upstream container technologies and combined with a minimized, atomically upgradable host system to Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.
rpm-ostree is the underlying technology for host updates. The headlining project is "Atomic Host", which is a server variant oriented towards running Linux containers using e.g. Kubernetes. However, there is now also a Workstation variant, showing the full generality of the rpm-ostree model.
