Item14732: statistics script blocks all of foswiki

As long as somebody iterates over the event log files, i.e. the latest one - event.log no other request will be answered due to the file being locked.

Is this really required?

Talking to George, we a greed to remove the reader lock by default, but optionally allow locking again:

Foswiki::Func::eachEventSince($time, $params)

with options in a params hash

level => ...
api => ...
lock => undef / 'LOCK_SH' / 'LOCK_EX'
