Added a Referenced::unref_nodelete() method which unreferences but does

not delete the object even if its count goes to 0 or below.  This should
only be called in special circumstances, the ReaderWriter::ReadResult
being one of them. This new method has allowed the problem of objects
being multiple referenced on return from readNodeFile() & readImageFile().
