Summary: LockFileEx does not return outcome of lock operation

Initial Comment:
When win32file.LockFileEx is called, it returns None
instead of the success/failure of the lock operation. 
When used with non-blocking locks it is impossible to
tell if a lock has succeeded or not.

I have attached a program demonstrating this behavior.
 When the program is run, it attempts to lock itself
but has no way of knowing it the lock succeeded.

Like most other pywin32 functions, this one raises an
exception of the API call fails.  The operation succeeded if
it did not raise win32file.error.

Let me know (and re-open the bug) if I misunderstood.
