A series of patches refactoring the somewhat-confusing red_channel_client_init_send_data() function. The third argument to this function is a RedPipeItem and it was never very obvious when or why we should pass an item in this parameter. Sometimes callers passed NULL, and sometimes they passed an item. It turns out that it's only necessary to pass the item to this parameter if the pipe item needs to be kept alive until we guarantee that the message has been sent. We only need to do this when we have marshalled some data by reference, and that data is owned by the RedPipeItem. To make this more obvious, I've attempted to refactor things so that we no longer rely on this mechanism to keep the data alive, but instead reference the pipe item (or other structure that owns the referenced data) call _add_by_ref_full() to unreference the data after the message has been sent.
