This patch adds a "row_locker" class providing locking (shard-locally) of
individual clustering rows or entire partitions, and both exclusive and
shared locks (a.k.a. reader/writer lock).
As we'll see in a following patch, we need this locking capability for
materialized views, to serialize the read-modify-update modifications
which involve the same rows or partitions.
The new row_locker is significantly different from the existing cell_locker.
The two main differences are that 1. row_locker also supports locking the
entire partition, not just individual rows (or cells in them), and that
2. row_locker supports also shared (reader) locks, not just exclusive locks.
For this reason we opted for a new implementation, instead of making large
modificiations to the existing cell_locker. And we put the source files
in the view/ directory, because row_locker's requirements are pretty
specific to the needs of materialized views.
