David Hendricks d89301b036 Replace SysV semaphore lock with file lock
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.

CQ-DEPEND=CL:327407,CL:325609
BUG=chrome-os-partner:49527
BRANCH=none
TEST=tested on Smaug by running mosys and ectool while reading
firmware ROM with flashrom, all three utilities eventually
ran successfully.
