I really it's not worth it, adding a cicrular dependency.

you can declare struct txn in wal.cc, and pass it around by
pointer without using the header.

The whole goal of this refactoring was to move fiber_set_txn() 
outside wal.cc, to txn.cc.

Is it still impossible? let's discuss.

Module boundaries are really important long term. You add it for a
valid reason, and some other patch will begin using txn inside wal
for a silly reason.
