activation: Lock /etc/.pwd.lock before accessing databases. 

Suggested by Florian Pelz <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>
in <http://bugs.gnu.org/35996>.

* gnu/build/accounts.scm (%password-lock-file): New variable.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Wrap calls to
'user+group-databases', 'write-group', etc. into 'with-file-lock'.
