This adds a fallback directory in case SYSTEM_LOCKFILE_DIR is
unavailable. Since this is a band-aid meant to help older systems
auto-update, the fallback path is hardcoded to "/tmp" as to avoid
polluting the overall lockfile API.

Some systems, such as Android, do not support SysV semaphore locks.
This implements an alternative file lock mechanism using flock().
flock() was chosen because it's pretty straight forward. It's known to
be broken when using NFS, but I doubt we'll ever store our lock on an
NFS volume.
