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.

When 'commit_shallow_file()' and 'rollback_shallow_file()' were
introduced, they did not have a documenting comment, when they could
have benefited from one.
Add a brief note about what these functions do, and make a special note
that they reset stat-validity checks.

There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow
repositories than they are to any sort of generic commit machinery.
Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions,
and commit.h seemed a reasonable enough place to put them.
But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and
placing them all in 'commit.h' doesn't make sense.
This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations
from 'commit.h' for functions which already exist in 'shallow.c'. We
will bring the remaining shallow-related functions defined in 'commit.c'
in a subsequent patch.
For now, move only the ones that already are implemented in 'shallow.c',
and update the necessary includes.
