//! What:
//!  The starvation reservation of the next landing slot:
//!       a transaction that lost `landing.reserveAfterLostRaces` races writes `reservation-request`,
//!       takes the reservation lock `reservation.lock` in the registry when it is granted,
//!       and every other transaction waits before it takes the landing lock.
//! Why:
//!  Without it a commit that keeps losing the race can starve behind a stream of landings.
//!       Grant order is the oldest live requester, so the transaction that waited longest goes first.
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! await using reservation = await openLandingReservation({ registryRoot, transactionDirectory, transactionId });
//! await reservation.reserve(lostRaces);
//! ```
