// Lock tries to acquire a lock for the given key, it blocks until the lock is acquired or the context is canceled.
//
// Lock returns a new context which should be used in the following code.
// The new context will be canceled when the lock is released or lost - yes, it's possible to lose a lock.
// For example, it lost the connection to the redis server while holding the lock.
// If it fails to acquire the lock, the returned context will be the same as the input context.
//
// Lock returns a ReleaseFunc to release the lock, it cannot be nil.
// It's always safe to call this function even if it fails to acquire the lock, and it will do nothing in that case.
// And it's also safe to call it multiple times, but it will only release the lock once.
// That's why it's called ReleaseFunc, not UnlockFunc.
// But be aware that it's not safe to not call it at all; it could lead to a memory leak.
// So a recommended pattern is to use defer to call it:
// ctx, release, err := locker.Lock(ctx, "key")
// if err != nil {
// return err
// }
// defer release()
// The ReleaseFunc will return the original context which was used to acquire the lock.
// It's useful when you want to continue to do something after releasing the lock.
// At that time, the ctx will be canceled, and you can use the returned context by the ReleaseFunc to continue:
// ctx, release, err := locker.Lock(ctx, "key")
// if err != nil {
// return err
// }
// defer release()
// doSomething(ctx)
// ctx = release()
// doSomethingElse(ctx)
// Please ignore it and use `defer release()` instead if you don't need this, to avoid forgetting to release the lock.
//
// Lock returns an error if failed to acquire the lock.
// Be aware that even the context is not canceled, it's still possible to fail to acquire the lock.
// For example, redis is down, or it reached the maximum number of tries.
