Lennart Poettering 57de20dd8f basic: document that people shouldn't use refcnt.h without reason
refcnt.h only exists for cases where objects are simultaneously handled
by different threads. Otherwise it should not be used. The only case
where this applies is sd_bus, really, and pretty much none of our APIs,
since we do not claim thread-safety for them.
