zeekayandHanzo Dev aa87442fdd Record upstream authorship centrally in NOTICE instead of in every file header
Source files keep their SPDX-License-Identifier and Hanzo copyright line; the
Gitea, Gogs and LFS Test Server copyrights they used to repeat now live once in
NOTICE, alongside LICENSE. The header lint accepts any copyright line above the
SPDX line, so it no longer demands an upstream one.

// Lock tries to acquire a lock for the given key, it blocks until the lock is acquired or the context is canceled.

// Lock returns a ReleaseFunc to release the lock, it cannot be nil.
// It's always safe to call this function even if it fails to acquire the lock, and it will do nothing in that case.
// And it's also safe to call it multiple times, but it will only release the lock once.
// That's why it's called ReleaseFunc, not UnlockFunc.
// But be aware that it's not safe to not call it at all; it could lead to a memory leak.
// So a recommended pattern is to use defer to call it:
// release, err := locker.Lock(ctx, "key")
// if err != nil {
// return err
// }
// defer release()
//
// Lock returns an error if failed to acquire the lock.
// Be aware that even the context is not canceled, it's still possible to fail to acquire the lock.
// For example, the KV server is down, or it reached the maximum number of tries.

// TryLock tries to acquire a lock for the given key, it returns immediately.
// It follows the same pattern as Lock, but it doesn't block.

// it will return false without any error.
