One-shot locks that panic instead of (dead)locking on contention.
These locks allow no contention and panic instead of blocking on `lock` if they are already locked.
This is useful in situations where contention would be a bug, such as in single-threaded programs that would deadlock on contention.
```rust
use one_shot_mutex::sync::OneShotMutex;
static X: OneShotMutex<i32> = OneShotMutex::new(42);
let x = X.lock();
// This panics instead of deadlocking.
// let x2 = X.lock();
// Once we unlock the mutex, we can lock it again.
drop(x);
let x = X.lock();
```
