Yes, these log messages with PID or XID are generated by log_lock_waits, not lock_timeout.

I'm not sure why it's challenging to provide detailed log messages for lock waits canceled
by lock_timeout or user cancellation, while it's considered feasible for the NOWAIT case.
However, I think it's reasonable to implement this feature step by step. We can start
by adding support for the NOWAIT case and consider extending it to handle lock_timeout and
cancellation scenarios later if possible.
