change lock format to let us detect and break stale locks. old style: symlink to pid new style: symlink to hostname:pid if lock code finds new-style lock, it breaks lock if locking pid is on same machine and pid is not alive. otherwise, lock is left alone. this makes locking code safe with old-style locks and with locks on other machines. new code makes server part of mercurial more robust in case machine crashes, power fails, or crazy user does kill -9.
