Describe the problem

The pan-os-python code includes Configuration Lock and Commit Lock features, however I cannot find any documentation on them. I am not sure if this is just documentation not being up to date, or there is some other reason (i.e. features not working across different PAN-OS versions or something like that)?

Suggested fix

Add documentation regarding the Configuration Lock and Commit Lock features.

Research direction

Start with panos/base.py around line 4367 and the linked documentation search page to understand where Configuration Lock and Commit Lock are exposed. Documentation is complete when both features, including any PAN-OS version or usage limitations found during review, are described in the project docs.
