This duplicates the ack/2 function in lib_amqp.

tx.select/tx.commit are synchronous commands, so you have to use
amqp_channel:call/2 instead of amqp_channel:cast/2

This should really go into lib_amqp - I'll add this as an improvement.

Also, tickets/realms are deprecated and have been removed from the
mainline client code.

Please see the fix for this in my repsonse to Edwin's mail.
