start-shared-test-validator.sh should test for and ask users to install 'flock' and 'pidof' (they're not there by default on macOS)

Overview

Following the instructions per solana-web3.js/examples/README.md, all the examples fail to run on a new mac since Flock isn't there by default.

Steps to reproduce

% pwd
/Users/mike/Code/solana-web3.js/examples/transfer-lamports
mike@Mac transfer-lamports % pnpm start

> @solana/example-transfer-lamports@ prestart /Users/mike/Code/solana-web3.js/examples/transfer-lamports
> turbo --output-logs=errors-only compile:js compile:typedefs

turbo 2.2.3

Description of bug

I don't have a Linux box to test but I bet flock is probably there by default, on mac you need to add https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/flock

We want to ask people to install Homebrew and then brew install flock

After this the examples work.

Another possible solution would be to remove the flock and pidof requirements if this is possible/safe.
