Draft: write caps lock indicator in uppercase on lockscreen

Renner03 requested to merge renneroe/plasma-desktop:cl into master

Hey everybody, In my opinion it should be more clear that caps lock is turned on at the lock screen. This should read like a warning and should catch your attention.

From my limited personal experience I can say that especially among younger people that the amount of them who know what a caps lock key does is seemingly shrinking (I know how stupid that sounds).

Google somewhat confirms this trend among the general population: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=what%20is%20the%20caps%20lock%20key&hl=en

This could also at the same time remind them again what a caps lock key does. Windows does this already (since ages probably).

Maybe we could also increase the font size/color/position add a symbol or anything really that improves visibility and change this behavior in SDDM as well.
