/*
RAII structure to place a directory lock against other FFS processes:
        - recursive locking supported, even with alternate lockfile names, e.g. via symlinks, network mounts etc.
        - ownership shared between all object instances refering to a specific lock location(= UUID)
        - can be copied safely and efficiently! (ref-counting)
        - detects and resolves abandoned locks (instantly if lock is associated with local pc, else after 30 seconds)
        - temporary locks created during abandoned lock resolution keep "lockfilename"'s extension
        - race-free (Windows, almost on Linux(NFS))
