INF-1318 flock config.yaml updates against concurrent writers

Han-9 from the adversarial review: the load-modify-write cycle in
SetContext / UseContext / DeleteContext was not protected against two
twoctl invocations racing on the same config.yaml. The later os.Rename
won; the earlier update was lost. Realistic trigger: background
'twoctl config use-context' while a foreground 'auth login' completes.

Now wrapped with withLock(), an exclusive advisory flock on
config.yaml.lock. Implementation split by build tag:

- lock_unix.go: syscall.Flock(LOCK_EX) - blocking, per-fd, released
  on file close. Works on linux, darwin, *bsd.
- lock_windows.go: no-op for now. Windows residual race documented;
  proper fix needs LockFileEx via golang.org/x/sys/windows in a
  follow-up.
- lock.go: shared dirOf helper.

No new third-party deps. Test confirms unix serialisation: 10 goroutines
contending for the same lockfile never enter the critical section
concurrently.
