Hash :347952ff Message :Revise the locking API: deprecate the old locking callbacks and add trylock.
Previously, there was no good way to request different kinds of lock
(say, read/write vs writeonly or recursive vs nonrecursive), or for a
lock function to signal failure (which would be important for a
trylock mode).
This patch revises the lock API to be a bit more useful. The older
lock calls are still supported for now.
We also add a debugging mode to catch common errors in using the
locking APIs.
