lock: add a way to prevent locks from being inherited

We want to prevent locks from being inherited sometimes (e.g. when there's a
currently running transaction, which will break a lot of assumptions we're
making in here.)

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
