Rocho 097290f7da fix(lock): show the faillock lockout reason instead of "incorrect password" (#2669)
When pam_faillock locks the account (DMS authenticates through the system PAM
stack: /etc/pam.d/login -> system-auth), the lock screen kept showing the
generic "Incorrect password - try again" even though the real cause is a
lockout, so a correct password looks rejected and only a reboot (which clears
the tmpfs /run/faillock tally) appears to help. See #2647.

The previous onMessageChanged only matched the *English* faillock strings
("The account is locked ...") and then wiped that text again on the trailing
pam_unix "Password:" prompt. On a non-English system (e.g. German) the strings
never matched, so the lockout was never surfaced at all.

Detect the notice by position rather than by text: pam emits its informational
messages within an attempt before the password prompt. Collect every non-prompt
info message and, once the prompt arrives, surface the collected lines (minus
the prompt itself) as lockMessage. If the stack short-circuits without ever
prompting (e.g. pam_faillock preauth configured as requisite), the notice is
surfaced on completion instead. This is locale-independent. A per-attempt flag
keeps the message stable across repeated locked attempts and retires it when an
attempt completes without a lockout (faillock reset / unlock_time elapsed).

Fixes #2647
