Implement reader-writer locks to allow allow multiple readers to hold
the lock in parallel.
* The locks are still based on fcntl(2).
* Changing the lock from a reader to a writer and vice versa will block
on the syscall.
* A writer lock can be held only by one process. To protect against
concurrent accesses by gourtines within the same process space, use a
writer mutex.
* Extend the Locker interface with the `RLock()` method to acquire a
reader lock. If the lock is set to be read-only, all calls to
`Lock()` will be redirected to `RLock()`. A reader lock is only
released via fcntl(2) when all gourtines within the same process space
have unlocked it. This is done via an internal counter which is
protected (among other things) by an internal state mutex.
* Panic on violations of the lock protocol, namely when calling
`Unlock()` on an unlocked lock. This helps detecting violations in
the code but also protects the storage from corruption. Doing this
has revealed some bugs fixed in ealier commits.
