Make the Windows implementation of AcquireLock compatible with JVM locks.

Currently, we rely on CreateFile to effectively obtain an exclusive (write) lock on the entire file, which makes the later call to LockFileEx redundant. This CL makes it so that we open the file in shared mode, and actually use LockFileEx to lock it.

This makes a client-side lock compatible with a server-side one obtained through the JVM (which defaults to opening files in shared mode and uses LockFileEx for locking). Even though this doesn't matter for the output base lock, which is only ever obtained from the client side (the server side doesn't use filesystem-based locks), it will be necessary to implement install base locking (as part of fixing #2109).

Note that this means an older Bazel might immediately exit instead of blocking for the lock, if the latter was previously acquired by a newer Bazel (since the older Bazel will always CreateFile successfully, but treat the subsequent LockFileEx failure as an unrecoverable error). However, this only matters during the very small window during which the client-side lock is held (it's taken over by the server-side lock in very short order), so I believe this is a very small price to pay to avoid adding more complexity.

RELNOTES[INC]: On Windows, a change to the output base locking protocol might cause an older Bazel invoked immediately after a newer Bazel (on the same output base) to error out instead of blocking for the lock, even if --block_for_lock is enabled.
