Issue details

Currently self-managed backend lock metadata contains only "Pid", "Username", "Hostname", "Timestamp". None of these are very useful for finding the real owner when Pulumi is run inside a container and/or part of an automation pipeline.

Would be helpful if one could add more specific information like commit ID, change ID, pipeline ID, "real" user etc. Even the "message" parameter content from "pulumi up" would suffice.

Thanks for the suggestion. We're unlikely to get to this in the short term, but would accept contributions.
