Pierre Habouzit ea646e7077 Make refcounting safer.
put *item to NULL on unref, as we cannot know if the pointer is valid
after an unref, so just segfault rather than hide a problem.

Also return *item on ref() it allow short versions like:
  foo_list_push(&list, foo_ref(&elem));
which is kind of readable _and_ handy.
