Show a note on the lock screen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's a feature request. I'd like to be able to keep the notes app visible on the lock screen, similar to what, for example, Kore does. This would be quite handy when using the notes app for grocery shopping etc., where you look at a note over and over again in a short period of time.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to show one note on the lock screen. The following points could be discussed or kept configurable:
- Leaving the note (to select another one) should require unlocking. Thus, you'd be "captured" in the one note.
- The note could be read-only as long as the screen is locked. This would render checkboxes unusable for my use-case, though.
- Alternatively, entering the edit mode would require unlocking. This would allow the usage of checkboxes as they are editable from preview mode but it would also force the user to use the preview mode.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative is to unlock the screen whenever you want to look at the note.
Additional context
This is somewhat related to #1461
This is more or less a RFC, I don't expect anyone to jump in to implement the feature. If there's broader interest in the idea I could try to come up with a patch but I'm no Android dev by any means...
