flock: Update documentation

[Bruno Haible]

The documentation of the Gnulib module 'flock' says that no replacement is
provided on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris. This is wrong: The lib/flock.c file _does_
provide a replacement in this case, based on fcntl. However, I see a unit
test failure for it on Solaris 11.3 and AIX 7.1.

I don't know if this is due to different semantics of locking facilities,
as described in
