[issue21137] Better repr for threading.Lock()

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

It is really nice to have the open/closed status in the __repr__ of file objects: 

  <open file 'data.txt', mode 'r' at 0x102c8ec90>
  <closed file 'data.txt', mode 'r' at 0x102c8ec90>

I would like to have the same for locks:

  <unlocked thread.lock object at 0x1002b1330>
  <locked thread.lock object at 0x1002b1330>

This would be nice in logs and tracebacks for example.
