     "library cache: mutex X" contention testcase.

     The script spawn several sessions to induce "library cache: mutex X", 
     creates AWR snapshots and generates report

     Beware: The script will restart the test database. 
             Wait timeout is 30 minutes. Adjust it for your environment.

     usage: sqlplus /nolog @library_cache_mutex_contention.sql <parallelism>
