From https://docs.rs/parking_lot/0.6.2/parking_lot/type.RwLock.html

This lock uses a task-fair locking policy which avoids both reader and writer starvation. This means that readers trying to acquire the lock will block even if the lock is unlocked when there are writers waiting to acquire the lock. Because of this, attempts to recursively acquire a read lock within a single thread may result in a deadlock.

And it seems that first_block_number() actually goes through block_number(_) where we check the best_block again

When was this bug introduced? It seems like parity should deadlock every time this function is called

@debris it deadlocks randomly and only when it happens that there is a write() lock request in between the two reads. I think the change was introduced in my header refactoring PR I remember touching some stuff with the best_block code.

This fixes test error on Rust 1.27 but also prevents js-glue from building itself. Builtin dapp users can still use
js-glue from crates.io.
