cbfstool: Use flock() when accessing CBFS files
Trying to do multiple operations on the same CBFS image at the same time
likely leads to data corruption. For this reason, add BSD advisory file
locking (flock()) to cbfstool (and ifittool which is using the same file
I/O library), so that only one process will operate on the same file at
the same time and the others will wait in line. This should help resolve
parallel build issues with the INTERMEDIATE target on certain platforms.
Unfortunately, some platforms use the INTERMEDIATE target to do a direct
dd into the CBFS image. This should generally be discouraged and future
platforms should aim to clearly deliminate regions that need to be
written directly by platform scripts with custom FMAP sections, so that
they can be written with `cbfstool write`. For the time being, update
the legacy platforms that do this with explicit calls to the `flock`
utility.
