fdopen_lock_file(): access a lockfile using stdio

Add a new function, fdopen_lock_file(), which returns a FILE pointer
open to the lockfile. If a stream is open on a lock_file object, it is
closed using fclose() on commit, rollback, or close_lock_file().

This change will allow callers to use stdio to write to a lockfile
without having to muck around in the internal representation of the
lock_file object (callers will be rewritten in upcoming commits).
