[Bug 1959458] [NEW] Lock screen disabling needs updating

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

The release upgrade process is supposed to disable your lock screen so
that if something goes wrong you still have access to the system.
However, this seems to be broken for upgrades to at least Jammy.

DistUpgradeQuirks.py has code to kill gnome-screensaver and poke xdg-
screensaver, however neither of those processes are running on my Impish
system. There is a /usr/libexec/gsd-screensaver-proxy process but
killing that didn't stop the screen from locking.
