clawhdf5: a dropped FileEditor releases its lock at once
FileEditor's flock belongs to the open file description. When another
thread forks to spawn a process, the child shares the locked descriptor
until it execs, so a reopen right after the drop could be refused with
Error::Locked (a one-off failure of edit_interop::editor_locks_the_file in
a parallel test run). Drop now unlocks before closing, which releases the
lock for every descriptor sharing it.

Reproducer edit_tests::drop_releases_the_lock_while_other_threads_spawn_processes
(4 threads running `true`, 2000 open/drop rounds): 1483 of 2000 reopens
refused before, 0 in 30 runs after (tank). An OFD lock would not help: it
is inherited across fork the same way and does not conflict with
libhdf5's flock. The agent store's lock file unlocks on drop too.

//! Single-writer guard for a memory store.
//!
//! `HDF5Memory` keeps the whole store in memory and rewrites the `.h5` file at
//! every checkpoint, so two handles on one store (two processes, or two opens
//! in one process) silently destroy each other's data: whoever checkpoints
//! last wins, and both append to the same WAL with independent CRC chains.
//! The lock turns that into an immediate, explicit error.
