Bug Description
A historical Ubuntu GNOME bug fix deleted the password for the live user. To get around auto-login bugs in gdm. These later carried over to Ubuntu when they switched back to GNOME.
Now seems like the other flavors want this behavior also. It avoids the password prompts when logging into a TTY for example.
My previous hack from a few years ago of injecting a systemd unit is no longer required, lets just delete the "blank" password when we add the live session user in casper.
[Test Case]
1. Login to a tty should not require you to press "enter" at the password: prompt (for blank password)
2. Under gnome-shell you should not be able to lock the screen with <super+L> or through the user menu
