/// Implements Readers-Writers locking algorithm that serves requests in "Phase Fair" order.
/// (Phase Fair RWLock as suggested in https://www.cs.unc.edu/~anderson/papers/rtsj10-for-web.pdf)
/// It is used for synchronizing access to various objects on query level (i.e. Storages).
///
/// In general, ClickHouse processes queries by multiple threads of execution in parallel.
/// As opposed to the standard OS synchronization primitives (mutexes), this implementation allows
/// unlock() to be called by a thread other than the one, that called lock().
/// It is also possible to acquire RWLock in Read mode without waiting (FastPath) by multiple threads,
/// that execute the same query (share the same query_id).
///
/// NOTE: it is important to allow acquiring the same lock in Read mode without waiting if it is already
/// acquired by another thread of the same query. Otherwise the following deadlock is possible:
/// - SELECT thread 1 locks in the Read mode
/// - ALTER tries to lock in the Write mode (waits for SELECT thread 1)
/// - SELECT thread 2 tries to lock in the Read mode (waits for ALTER)
