Add current USB protection status

Ludovico de Nittis requested to merge denittis/gnome-shell:usb-statusv5 into main

This is related to the GNOME-Control-Center MR gnome-control-center!366 (merged), the gnome-settings-daemon MR gnome-settings-daemon!75 (merged) and the gsettings-desktop-schemas MR gsettings-desktop-schemas!15 (merged).

I talked about this in Planet GNOME. First post here https://ryuzakikk.github.io/gnome/internship-preparation/

When the USB devices protection is active we show an icon in the top indicator panel. If the required USBGuard is not available we do not show the icon.

g-s-usb-protection-icon

g-s-usb-protection-icon2

As shown in the two images above we are currently using a generic "external device" icon. Probably we will need a custom made icon that indicates "USB protection is on". So something related to a lock and a USB connector.
