[Feature]: App Lock using "App Usage Data" permission instead of Accessibility #316

Problem Statement

Essentials currently requires accessibility permission to enable "App Lock" feature.
I typically don't grant accessibility permission to any app unless it is absolutely necessary. Also, Google is going to lock down accessibility permission in near future anyway.

Proposed Solution

So, for App Lock, could you please use the "App Usage Data" permission? (I currently use an app purpose built for app lock and that works via both permissions. Not sure if I'm allowed to mention other apps here.)
