be quiet about dropping invalid references
------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-863
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-863
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Database Core
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
            Reporter: Randall Leeds
            Priority: Trivial


couch_ref_counter:drop will complain, dying with noproc, if the reference 
counter does not exist. Since dropping a reference to a non-existent process 
isn't exactly an error I think we should squelch this one. I hate log noise and 
I've noticed this pop up in the logs a bunch, especially running the test 
suite. Extra noise doesn't make debugging easier and it could confuse people 
trying to solve real problems.

Trivial, trivial patch unless I'm missing something really silly. I'll save 
everyone the extra emails from JIRA and just paste it here.
