apt.Cache: Use explicit, more safe locking in update()

Instead of using apt_pkg.get_lock, use the wrapped lock
context manager to make sure the lock is always released
correctly at the end of the function / with block.

The old code would not release the lock if slist.read_main_list()
throws an exception.

(cherry picked from commit e40d0df8c01ff098574252d08b1a6bc7e4f3bedd)

apt.Cache: Fix (un)locking of archives

It seems that for unknown reasons, the fetcher was not
released after commit() ended, although it should have
been out of references.

Rewrite the code to use an explicit lock context manager
instead, this avoids the need of attaching the lock to
the acquire object and makes the code easier to understand.

We have to wrap apt_pkg.FileLock in another class to raise
the expected exceptions, and we need to have only one instance
of that class in the cache, as we might nest locks within each
other (_fetch_archives called in commit), and FileLock counts
the number of locks in its instance.

Closes: #922416
(cherry picked from commit 9de87aea78562aba5eae556ff795ae11e984f7e2)
