Summary: File changes during Invitation corrupts session

Initial Comment:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Alice shares a partial project with Bob 
2. Alice adds Carl to Session
3. Carl accepts (project negotiation still running)
4. Bob modifies a shared file
5. -> for every key stroke of Bob Alice gets asked about if she wants to 
partial share the file (on top of that no information about the file to be 
shared)
-> Session gets inconsistent without the watchdog being able to detect.

> Priority level 5 was far too low.

Please don't be silly. Since we don't have a strict scheme to assign bugs
to all 9 priority levels that Sourceforge offers, a change from "5" to "6"
is a waste of your time.

Aren't they? I think that there are phases in the sync. process in which
the users are indeed blocked. But it doesn't matter: As long as there
remains time slots in which changes are possible and these changes can lead
to undetectable inconsistencies, this issue remains relevant.

> Thus representing the normal workflow.

Yes, but only under the two preconditions of more than two participants and
the usage of partial sharing. (These two preconditions were the reason to
lower the priority from 9 to 5.)

Message:
Priority level 5 was far to low.

As the participants are not blocked during the whole sync. process, it is
common to assume that modifications made during sync. will be applied after
sync. is done, thus representing the normal workflow.

Message:
It seems that these Activities are supposed to be queued (have a look at
SarosSession.java lines 698 - 799), but something goes wrong. It was so
much easier when we were sure that we eventually will have the whole
project...

Message:
Solution is pretty "simple". Disallow any modification on the files while
sync. is in progress. Kick every user from the session who still tries to
modify files. We are doing this, but it seems we are not doing it right.
You can even cancel your read-only access during sync.
