Revert "Add option to lock TTY switching"

This reverts commit dcfcba3ed4.

As-is, this requires i3lock to be run with too many permissions, for a feature
which many users will never need. In issue #231, we concluded that interested
users are better off using a dedicated virtual console locker such as vlock(1).
