Bug #634165: Better dealing with a locked database in python

Patch by Christoph Holtermann:

For the second enhancement proposal i have attached a simple patch which adds
the argument ignore_lock to Session.__init__() which is passed through to
qof_session_begin.

This patch extends the function Session.__init__() with ignore_lock
