Custom plasma lock screen

With the Plasma 5.12 it is possible to add lock screen configuration to the LnF theme /1/. The Plasma 5.12.2 or later is needed to show the configuration options /2/.

The configuration options can be added by editing the Look and Feel theme lock screen config.xml and config.qml files.
