Currently inhibitors are bypassed unless an explicit request is made to check for them, or even in that case when the requestor is root or the same uid as the holder of the lock. But in many cases this makes it impractical to rely on inhibitor locks. For example, in Debian there are several convoluted and archaic workarounds that divert systemctl/reboot to some hacky custom scripts to try and enforce blocking accidental reboots, when it's not expected that the requestor will remember to specify the command line option to enable checking for active inhibitor locks. Also in many cases one wants to ensure that locks taken by a user are respected by actions initiated by that same user. Change logind so that inhibitors checks are not skipped in these cases, and systemctl so that locks are checked in order to show a friendly error message rather than "permission denied". Add new block-weak and delay-weak modes that keep the previous behaviour unchanged.
