Add support for dpkg frontend lock
The dpkg frontend lock is a lock dpkg tries to acquire except if the frontend already acquires it. This fixes a race condition in the install command where the dpkg lock is not held for a short period of time between different dpkg invocations. For this reason we also define an environment variable DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED for dpkg invocations so dpkg knows not to try to acquire the frontend lock because it's held by a parent process. We can set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED only if the frontend lock really is held; that is, if our lock count is greater than 0 - otherwise an apt client not using the LockInner family of functions would run dpkg without the frontend lock set, but with DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED set. Such a process has a weaker guarantee: Because dpkg would not lock the frontend lock either, the process is prone to the existing races, and, more importantly, so is a new style process. Closes: #869546 [fixups: fix error messages, add public IsLocked() method, and make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem]
