Use fcntl() instead of flock() for locking the config file

fcntl() is more portable than flock() so this makes znc run on more systems
(everyone smile and say hi to solaris). The downside is that fcntl() locks are
lost if *any* fd referring to that file is closed (luckily we don't do that).

The big downside is that the child process after fork() does not inherit the
lock. To work around this, when znc forks into the background, the child process
immediately blocks and tries to get the lock on the config file. Once the parent
releases the lock by exiting, the child will get it.

This shouldn't cause races with other ZNCs, because in every other place we
don't block waiting for a lock but instead abort immediately if the file is
already locked.

Thanks to LeftWing aka Joshua M. Clulow for making znc work on solaris (and
automatically fixing some issues with NFS in the process).
