tr-summary: keep a weakref to the unfiltered repository

Repoview can have a different life cycle, causing issue in some corner
cases. The particular instance that revealed this comes from localpeer. The
localpeer hold a reference to the unfiltered repository, but calling 'local()'
will create an on-demand 'visible' repoview. That repoview can be garbaged
collected any time. Here is a simplified step by step reproduction::

    1) tr = peer.local().transaction('foo')
    2) tr.close()

After (1), the repoview object is garbage collected, so weakref used in (2)
point to nothing.


Thanks to Sean Farley for helping raising and debugging this issue.

Same issue, different code path
