      Summary:

      Remove named snapshot support.


      Timestamps offer a better solution to the general problem of applications wanting fine-grained control over sequencing of reads vs writes across sessions.

      The named snapshot code is a small API and mostly localized in the code to txn_nsnap.c but removing it would reduce test surface area and simplify documentation by focusing on timestamps.
