Description:	The ability to associate an AO2 reference with a pointer will allow {{refcounter.py}} to greatly reduce the output for leaked objects.  The use of ast_format in frame.c is a perfect example.  The same format is often used thousands of times but frame.c is rarely the cause of a format leaking.  This change causes matching ref/unref from frame.c and a few other places to be filtered out of the results.  This is done by associating references with address of the pointer that will hold it.

By: Corey Farrell (coreyfarrell) 2016-07-02 14:58:55.866-0500 Attached is output of my updated {{refcounter.py}} for an execution of testsuite {{tests/bridge/hold_redirect}}.  One shows all references to leaked objects, the other only shows unmatched references to leaked objects. By: Corey Farrell (coreyfarrell) 2016-07-08 13:31:01.960-0500 refs-updated.txt contains a more recent run of {{tests/bridge/hold_redirect}} showing detection of indirect leaks.
