/**
 * Global, MySQL-backed lock. This is a high-reliability, low-performance
 * global lock.
 *
 * The lock is maintained by using GET_LOCK() in MySQL, and automatically
 * released when the connection terminates. Thus, this lock can safely be used
 * to control access to shared resources without implementing any sort of
 * timeout or override logic: the lock can't normally be stuck in a locked state
 * with no process actually holding the lock.
 *
 * However, acquiring the lock is moderately expensive (several network
 * roundtrips). This makes it unsuitable for tasks where lock performance is
 * important.
 *
 *    $lock = PhabricatorGlobalLock::newLock('example');
 *    $lock->lock();
 *      do_contentious_things();
 *    $lock->unlock();
 *

 * @task impl       Implementation
