Ruslan Kuprieiev 25807f2690 dvc: make flufl.lock opt-in and use zc.lockfile
As it turned out (see issue numbers down below), we can't really take
hardlinks for granted, so `flufl.lock` is not a panacea for all
filesystems. Considering that the vast majority of filesystems that our
users use support `zc.lockfile`(flock-based) and it has benefits like
more reliable mechanism, auto-delete when process exits, more sturdy
implementation, etc, it makes more sense to bring it back and use by
default again. For filesystems that don't support `flock()`, users will
be able to manually enable `flufl.lock` use through the config option.
It would be ideal if we could auto-detect that flock is not supported,
but in the real world, it turned out to be non-trivial, as it might hang
forever in a kernel context, which makes the implementation way too
complex for our purposes. So what we're doing instead is showing a
message before locking with `zc.lockfile` that, under normal
circumstances will disappear once the lock is taken or failed, otherwise
it will point users to the related documentation where they can learn
about how to opt-in for `flufl.lock`.
