Screen locker

Originally created by Tails on #5684 (Redmine)

Tails is currently lacking a screen locker and this has been a frequent feature request. For example, as Tails is been adopted more and more by journalists, they want to be able to leave their computer unattended in their office to go to the toilets for a minute and have their screen locked.

This has also been mentioned as a requirement for Tails Server: https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/server_edition/
