Summary

Provide different options for locking and unlocking vertex groups
using bone selection, accessible via a pie menu triggered via the
'K' hotkey. To implement a variety of operations, extend the old
operator with a new option to mask it by bone selection.

This follows D6533 as the next step in improving accessibility of
vertex group locking during weight painting.

Tested, this seems really neat. Can see this being pretty useful, especially thanks to rB966383138a42. It came up in chat that it would be nice if x-mirror was taken into consideration by the operators (consider opposite of selected bones as selected, even if they aren't), but to me that's a "nice to have" and not essential.

Implementation seems fine, I guess unless the animation or UI team object to the functionality or UI this can go in.
