Avoid infinite loops in caching layer

Add a global variable, cgit_max_lock_attemps, to avoid the possibility of
infinite loops when failing to acquire a lockfile. This could happen on
broken setups or under crazy server load.

Incidentally, this also fixes a lurking bug in cache_lock() where an
uninitialized returnvalue was used.
