Hey guys!

One of our colleagues mentioned that it's a breaking change and swaylock
with pam backend will complain if suid is set, so the old setups with
(screen-locker-service swaylock) will break after this commit.

Do we want to document how to configure pam for swaylock in manual and
add a news entry for this change?
