gtklock upstream now has support for locking via ext-session-lock protocol.

Legacy locking methods used layer-shell + the now deprecated zwlr-input-inhibit protocols, which is no longer recommended for security reasons. Support for zwlr-input-inhibit protocol might also eventually get removed from sway, so it's safer and more efficient to migrate to a newer version of gtklock.

Minimum supported stage: trixie and questing (possibly plucky as well)

Just curious, your plan is to merge this to master or keep as-is as a release branch?

We can merge into master. I don't expect older versions of gtklock getting any updates. We can just have this version of the package be part of trixie+ and plucky+ distros.

We can close this PR right? (considering the package is already available upstream in debian repos)
