Description
Right now we simply stub out calls like `flock` and `fcntl+F_SETLK`.
At least for the OPFS wasmfs backend it seems like it could be usefull?
I assume that the OPFS filesystem can be shared between multiple running emscripten programs? (or the same program running in multiple tabs?)
Are there any other FS backends that could benefit?
