Add support for lock screen protected apps

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Some apps (obviously bank apps, but also more common apps like public transport) require the android system to have some sort of lock screen (pin, fingerprint etc.) for improved security. This is currently not possible in WSA, which removes the possibility to use lots of apps. I know this was already pointed out in #139 and #187, so whats the status then?
Describe the solution you'd like
Add support to add lock screens (pin, fingerprint etc.). Or even just emulate it, so that the app thinks there is a lockscreen set up.
Describe alternatives you've considered
When navigating through the settings menu, the option to choose the screen lock exists, but only contains two entries:
These settings dont fulfill the criteria of a "safe" lockscreen for these android apps.
Maybe there is the possibility to just add the other options?
Please specify the version of Windows Subsystem for Android
2311.40000.5.0
This is still a breaking issue, and there are plenty of use cases for it, with apps being completely blocked unless there is a defined lock screen setting. The emulation is able to detect that there is nothing defined, so it should be able to support it or have a workaround for the detection used by the applications to at least believe there is a defined setting.
Only reason I have to use WSA is dependent on this being fixed.
