Our `LockTransaction` class was reading overly aggressively.  In cases
like this:

```
1  with spack.store.db.read_transaction():
2    with spack.store.db.write_transaction():
3      ...
```

The `ReadTransaction` on line 1 would read in the DB, but the
WriteTransaction on line 2 would read in the DB *again*, even though we
had a read lock the whole time.  `WriteTransaction`s were only
considering nested writes to decide when to read, but they didn't know
when we already had a read lock.

- [x] `Lock.acquire_write()` return `False` in cases where we already had
       a read lock.
