Better explanation of lock failures

Description

The flint locking code can fail to obtain a lock in several different ways, but the user is not informed what the cause of the failure was. It would be nice if the user could be informed, by means of an informative message in the exception raised, why a lock couldn't be obtained.

Looking at the code, this would require the Lock object to return that information to the place that the exception is raised, or would require raising the exception to be moved into the Lock object.
