Description: Starting with Sailfish OS 2.0, Jolla removed the swipe to lock functionality. This patch restores it, without dropping the new "PowerKey/Top menu".

A full swipe from the top will work as usual (the menu remains accessible).

The behaviour is configurable from Settings -> System -> Gestures.

This patch was originally developed by eugenio and published at https://openrepos.net/content/eugenio/patch-restore-swipe-lock

This version updates the patch for Sailfish OS 5.x (and it may work on 4.x, untested.)
