remove legacy (bsd-style) locking

flock() may be implemented via fcntl(), which may cause the process to
deadlock itself when trying to apply both types of locks. this is the
case even on linux when the file lives on NFS.

it's unlikely that anything except mbsync would try to access the
.uidvalidity files anyway, so there is no point in trying to be
compatible with anything else ...
