Issue Summary
This patch depends on http://drupal.org/node/208286.
This patch adds a locked column to to the job_queue table and add a locked argument to job_queue_dequeue. When a job is dequeued the locked column will be set to the locked argument. You can use this to identify the called of job_queue_dequeue in the case you have multiple servers or processes handling the job queue.

here is an updated .test file to cover attempting to dequeue a locked job... It's hard to really test the feature, since you can't easily emulate concurrency within a test.

The code has changed a bit in Drupal 6.
I would like to use this opportunity to add more information to the queue UI. The job status could be added to admin/reports/job_queue which says that the job is running, and for how long.
