nmh: Delete (a bit outdated) comment about locking mechanisms
Since 02 Feb 2014 (post-1.6) the default locking mechanisms are
(directly from m4/locking.m4):
- aix*|cygwin*|linux*: fcntl
- freebsd*|*netbsd*|openbsd*|darwin*: flock
- everything else: dot
The original comment was probably about just NetBSD and maybe Solaris
(it's dated 1999). Solaris still uses the `dot' mechanisms by default
but we no longer have any local patches about locking.

-# It also works well over NFS.

-# Locks supported by `mail.local' are ".lock" and flock(2).
