`fcntl` module provides no access to F_GETLK operation

Wrapper/access for fcntl(fd, F_GETLK, …)

The fcntl module currently exposes the F_GETLK constant itself, but unfortunately because the types in struct flock are OS and CFLAGS dependent (off_t, pid_t), the operation is hard to work-around with struct.unpack.

Pitch

Exposing F_GETLK is particularly useful to determine if a process that created a lock file or pid file is actually still alive, vs. whether the lock/pid file was left uncleaned from a previous exit/crash/etc. The l_pid field is the most useful, but if wrapping the call anyway it might make more sense to just expose all values.

I've already implemented this, a PR is following shortly.

Commencez par la constante F_GETLK existante du module fcntl et examinez les types struct flock dépendants de la plateforme décrits dans l'issue. Consultez les PRs liés gh-112372 et gh-96695 avant de commencer, car l'implémentation demandée a déjà été signalée comme terminée. Le travail est terminé lorsque l'accès à F_GETLK est exposé sans obliger les appelants à deviner des layouts dépendant du système d'exploitation et de CFLAGS.
