Up until now we only had virObjectLockable which uses mutexes for
mutually excluding each other in critical section. Well, this is
not enough. Future work will require RW locks so we might as well
have virObjectRWLockable which is introduced here.
Moreover, polymorphism is introduced to our code for the first
time. Yay! More specifically, virObjectLock will grab a write
lock, virObjectLockRead will grab a read lock then (what a
surprise right?). This has great advantage that an object can be
made derived from virObjectRWLockable in a single line and still
continue functioning properly (mutexes can be viewed as grabbing
write locks only). Then just those critical sections that can
grab a read lock need fixing. Therefore the resulting change is
going to be way smaller.
In order to avoid writer starvation, the object initializes RW
lock that prefers writers.
