locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases
Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed
filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly
interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which
case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations
correctly.
Also add some documentation.
