it really is not necessary, since the only time we are interested in
loading the state from the file is when we list it, and there
we use JobState::load directly to avoid the lock
we still need to create the file on syncjob creation though, so
that we have the correct time for the schedule
to do this we add a new create_state_file that overwrites it on creation
of a syncjob
for safety, we subtract 30 seconds from the in-memory state in case
the statefile is missing
since we call create_state_file from proxmox-backup-api,
we have to chown the lock file after creating to the backup user,
else the sync job scheduling cannot aquire the lock
also we remove the lock file on statefile removal

this is intended to be a generic helper to (de)serialize job states
(e.g., sync, verify, and so on)
writes a json file into '/var/lib/proxmox-backup/jobstates/TYPE-ID.json'
the api creates the directory with the correct permissions, like
the rrd directory
