Always checked alternative to Sync::Mutex and Sync::RWLock in a single and significantly smaller type (no crystal type id, no lock type, no reentrancy counter) at 24 bytes instead of 40 bytes.

Always checked alternative to
Sync::MutexandSync::RWLockin a single and significantly smaller type (no crystal type id, no lock type, no reentrancy counter) at 24 bytes instead of 40 bytes. The API is also limited to#lock(&)and#rlock(&)and it raises on deadlock.Extracted from #16756.
NOTE: this is for specific internal usages where we want simple safety; we won't need an unchecked lock (use
Sync::MUdirectly) or a reentrant lock (useSync::MutexorSync::RWLock) types.
