Improve error reporting in code that checks for buffer refcount leaks.

Formerly we just Assert'ed that each refcount was zero, which was quick
and easy but failed to provide a good overview of what was wrong.
Change the code so that we'll call PrintBufferLeakWarning() for each
buffer with a nonzero refcount, and then Assert at the end of the loop.
This costs nothing in runtime and might ease diagnosis of some bugs.
