[PATCH v2] fix: release transaction before releasing handle

If a transaction exists, release it if possible. If
`alpm_trans_release` errors out (returns a non-zero),
return a -1 in `alpm_release`.

This patch addresses the following issue observed in `pyalpm`:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/pyalpm/-/issues/25, where
`pyalpm` ends up raising twice due to an unexpected failure during
handle release, while a transaction is locked.

This is a modified version of
https://patchwork.archlinux.org/project/pacman/patch/20200119191833.581492-1-morganamilo@archlinux.org/
and is a derivation of his (Morganamilo's) work.
