  o Catch lock timeout exception. Fixes #4435.
  o Add lock for create_doc and update_indexes call, prevents
    concurrent access to the db. Closes #5139.

    new connection for each sync.
  o Unlock shared_db if anything fails in the bootstrap
    sequence. Fixes #4702.

    #4616.
  o Do not autocreate remote user database when syncing. Tapicero
    should make sure that that db is created when the user is
    created. Closes #5302.
  o Add a read-write lock for all client operations. Addresses: #4972
  o Add sync=off and tem_store=mem to soledad client, for
    optimization.

  o Parallelize get_docs() on couch backend to accelerate sync.
    Closes #5008.
  o Use less memory when putting docs on couch. Fixes #5011.
  o Prevent CouchServerState from creating or deleting databases. This
    way, Soledad remote clients won't ever be able to do these
    operations when syncing. Part of #5302.
  o Avoid concurrent syncs problem by adding a lock for PUTting to the
    sync log update handler. Fixes #5388.
  o Remove check for couch permissions when CouchServerState is
    instantiated. This is not necessary anymore because platform
    takes care of giving the soledad user enough permissions and
    tapicero takes care of uploading the needed design documents.
