Bjoern Rabenstein baca6faa1c Add double-start protection.
This mimics the locking leveldb is performing anyway. Advantages of
doing it separately:

- Should we ever replace the leveldb implementation by one without
  double-start protection, we are still good.

- In contrast to leveldb, the new code creates a meaningful error
  message.

// Package flock provides portable file locking. It is essentially ripped out
// from the code of github.com/syndtr/goleveldb. Strange enough that the
// standard library does not provide this functionality. Once this package has
// proven to work as expected, we should probably turn it into a separate
// general purpose package for humanity.
