shallow: use struct 'shallow_lock' for additional safety

In previous patches, the functions 'commit_shallow_file' and
'rollback_shallow_file' were introduced to reset the shallowness
validity checks on a repository after potentially modifying
'.git/shallow'.

These functions can be made safer by wrapping the 'struct lockfile *' in
a new type, 'shallow_lock', so that they cannot be called with a raw
lock (and potentially misused by other code that happens to possess a
lockfile, but has nothing to do with shallowness).

This patch introduces that type as a thin wrapper around 'struct
lockfile', and updates the two aforementioned functions and their
callers to use it.
