Provide source for macOS lock-binary or implement different method

[ameesme]

The macOS lock-executable's source is currently not provided in the repository. Perhaps this could be added.

An alternative solution that doesn't require a binary would be to use child-process to execute the pmset displaysleepnow command. This will put the screen to sleep, which results in a lock if the user has set a log-in password and turned on "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" in System Preferences, which should be the case anyway.

Example code

const { exec } = require('child_process');
exec('pmset displaysleepnow');
