This is a good task for someone who wants to dip a toe into the translator
optimizer.  They focus on the emit_locks/emit_unlocks functions in translate.cxx.

- elide all global variable lock/unlock operations from begin/end probes

- in translate_pass(), compute another varuse_collecting_visitor instance, over
all probes except begin/end probes; put it into a new c_unparser field
- within emit_locks/unlocks, elide a read lock that would be taken for a global,
if it turns out that it is not written to in any normal probe.  That is, if that
newly computed semi-global varuse_collecting_visitor instance does *not* note a
global as written-to, then we don't have to lock it here to read it safely.
