Add support for ignoring locking failures. This is only enabled when

you've specified a directory.  It is intended to be used in building
custom releases over NFS where locking may be unreliable at best and
there is no contention that the locking is designed to arbitrate.
Other uses of this flag are discouraged.  Document same in usage and
man page (including the warning about unwise).
