2020-06-28imaptracker: use flock(2) around writes
SQLite only issues non-blocking F_SETLK ops (not F_SETLKW) and retries failures using a configurable busy_timeout. SQLite's busy loop sleeps for a millisecond and retries the lock until the configured busy_timeout is hit. Trying to set ->sqlite_busy_timeout to larger values (e.g. 30000 milliseconds) still leads to failure when running the new stress test with 8 processes with TMPDIR on a 7200 RPM HDD. Inspection of SQLite source reveals there's no built-in way to use F_SETLKW, so tack on the existing flock(2) support we use to synchronize git + SQLite + Xapian for inbox writing. We use flock(2) instead of POSIX fcntl(2) locks since Perl doesn't provide a way to manipulate "struct flock" portably.
2020-06-28imaptracker: use ~/.local/share/public-inbox/imap.sqlite3
Respect XDG_DATA_HOME to avoid cluttering ~/.public-inbox/. Existing users of ~/.public-inbox/imap.sqlite3 will remain supported, but the preference for new data is to use ~/.local/share and other paths standardized by XDG. Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
