locks: improve errors and permission checking

- Clean up error messages for when a lock can't be created, or when an
  exclusive (write) lock can't be taken on a file.

- Add a number of subclasses of LockError to distinguish timeouts from
  permission issues.

- Add an explicit check to prevent the user from taking a write lock on a
  read-only file.
  - We had a check for this for when we try to *upgrade* a lock on an RO
    file, but not for an initial write lock attempt.

- Add more tests for different lock permission scenarios.
