Add lock-screen status line and harden the locker

Show MPRIS now-playing and upower battery under the clock, polled on a background thread (zbus). Flags gate both drawing and D-Bus; desktops without a battery stay blank; titles are truncated. Also the locker audit pass that landed in the same files: - PAM authenticates getuid()/getpwuid_r, not $USER, and missing username still takes the lock - one lock surface per output, generation-gated fail timers, PAM timeout, Tab-reveal off by default and cleared on keyboard leave - GPU chrome is a dirty-rect quad with EGL cleanup; shm reuses a SlotPool; appear/shake/flash/veil/clock-crossfade bugs - hold-to-reveal, checking ellipsis, and password display length Live-checked on hermes (GPU path, PAM unlock, Tab-hold).
