Swaylock should set the LockedHint property so that the applications can act accordingly.

An example of this kind of response:
keepassxreboot/keepassxc#3339 - a password manager could lock it's database on screenlock, but that currently doesn't seem possible with swaylock, since there's no lock event.

It was implemented in systemd in this PR: systemd/systemd#3238
Support was added to ConsoleKit in this commit: ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2@d28abf1

I don't think I'd want to add D-Bus stuff to swaylock itself. A wrapper script could take care of the D-Bus stuff, I think.

I personally use this small tool to synchronize stuff to the locked state: https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/follow-ready

Someone would have to write a tool to set the lock hints though.
