deadlocks: find dead- or live-locked states and traces leading to them

deadlocks A;

Notes

A state is deadlocked if after reaching it no observable action will ever be possible. This definition follows Milner's book, but includes what is often known as livelock.

For each such state, we give one sequence of actions by which it may be reached (just one, even if there are many ways of reaching that state).
