Unlock TransactionConfidence event listeners, make sure MemoryPool is not locked when a tx is marked broadcast by a peer to avoid inversions via listeners.

Unfortunately this introduces some new FindBugs warnings because it doesn't understand the inside-out locking pattern used here, despite that it's correct.
Update issue 233.
