    GVariant: add internal tree-form locking helper
    
    Many of the core GVariant operations have two modes: one for tree-form
    and one for serialised.
    
    Once a GVariant is in serialised form it will always be serialised, so
    it is safe to simply check for that and proceed with the operation in
    that case.
    
    A tree-form GVariant instance always has a chance of being implicitly
    serialised, however, so we have to take locks when performing operations
    on these.
    
    Write a helper function that reliably checks if the instance is in
    tree-form, locking it if it is.  Rewrite some of the other functions to
    use this helper.  In some cases this simplifies the code and in others
    it reduces locking.
