Nit: both commits and rollbacks.

What is the problem with deallocation? AFAIU it is enough to
simply iterate over the list and release each element - not big deal.

If you want to use region, mb it is worth to store separate region
specially for VDBE? We already have it in parser, so what prevents
us for adding the same thing to VDBE? I guess we can store many
things there, not only list of ids. I understand that parser in its turn
has nothing in common (at least it should, except for analyze machinery)
with transaction routines, so separate region is likely to be more
reasonable for parser, but anyway...
