Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27116: doc: clarify that LOCK() internally checks whether the mutex is held

91d0888921 sync: unpublish LocksHeld() which is used only in sync.cpp (Vasil Dimov)
3df37e0c78 doc: clarify that LOCK() does AssertLockNotHeld() internally (Vasil Dimov)

Pull request description:

  Constructs like

  ```cpp
  AssertLockNotHeld(m);
  LOCK(m);
  ```

  are equivalent to (almost, modulo some logging differences, see below)

  ```cpp
  LOCK(m);
  ```

  for non-recursive mutexes, so it is ok to omit `AssertLockNotHeld()` in such cases. Requests to do the former keep coming during review process. `developer-notes.md` explicitly states "Combine annotations in function declarations with run-time asserts in function definitions", but that seems to be too strong or unclear. `LOCK()` is also a run-time assert in this case.

  Also remove `LocksHeld()` from the public interface in `sync.h` since it is only used in `sync.cpp`.
