By definition IStorage level methods need to be passed in storage-level
IStorageTransactionMetaData, not regular transaction.Transaction
objects:

https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/blob/5.6.0-35-g1fb097b41/src/ZODB/interfaces.py#L827-L830

Passing in there regular transaction.Transaction used to work
historically, but after https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/2f8cc67a
it started to fail as:

    Error in test test_conflict_cache_clears_over_time (tempstorage.tests.testTemporaryStorage.TemporaryStorageTests)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/unittest/case.py", line 329, in run
        testMethod()
      File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/z/tempstorage/src/tempstorage/tests/testTemporaryStorage.py", line 195, in test_conflict_cache_clears_over_time
        self._dostore(storage, oid1, data=MinPO(5))
      File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/z/tempstorage/src/tempstorage/tests/testTemporaryStorage.py", line 132, in _dostore
        storage.tpc_begin(t)
      File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/z/ZODB/src/ZODB/BaseStorage.py", line 193, in tpc_begin
        ext = transaction.extension_bytes
    AttributeError: 'Transaction' object has no attribute 'extension_bytes'

-> Fix it by using storage-level transactions in tests.

This prevents a KeyError: '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

Removed doubt-inducing version pins

fixed a bug in loadBefore

I guess there were no tests of GC.

That was made effective by recent changes in ZODB that relied more on
loadBefore for MVCC.

Oddly the change makes this loadBefore match the version it was copied
from, which github says was last changed 13 years ago. (gulp, on
multiple levels).
