flashrom.c: Implement file-based locking semantics

This upstreams the ChromiumOS implementation of file-based locking
for multiple instances of flashrom that could be spawned either
from libflashrom (perhaps by fwupd for example) and user cli
as another example. Since flashrom is programming singleton state
of hardware from userspace there is no way to exclusively own
the address space and therefore a file-based locking semantic
is considered here.

BUG=b:217629892,b:215255210
BRANCH=none
TEST=nm -gD /build/brya/usr/lib64/libflashrom.so | grep "flock"
     Test futility update with multiple instances of flashrom running.
