lock: include Linux pid namespace identifier in prefix
Previously, the lock only contains a hostname as an attempt to detect pid
namespace difference. However, that's not enough on modern Linux - a single
hostname could have different pid namespaces.
That means if people run hg inside different PID namespaces with a same UTS
namespae, the lock would be broken - an hg proccess in pid namespace A will
think the lock having a "random" pid in pid namespace B is "dead" and remove
it.
This patch solves the above issue by appending an PID namespace identifier of
the current process to the lock prefix ("hostname"). It depends on /proc
being mounted properly. But I don't think there is a better way to get pid
namespace identifier reliably.
