Bug description:
  [impact]
  cloud-config overrides via cloud-init for ssh do no longer work. Eg.

  #cloud-config
  ssh_pwauth: True

  doesn't enable password authentication anymore.

  The reason is that https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-
  rootfs/commit/live-build/ubuntu-
  cpc/hooks.d/chroot/052-ssh_authentication.chroot?h=ubuntu/jammy&id=3b2eeb017153cbbfc8935f9447e00d196e34d983
  is a wrong backport using the wrong filename
  /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/10-cloudimg-settings.conf . it needs to be
  /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/60-cloudimg-settings.conf . See
  https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/ubuntu-
  cpc/hooks.d/chroot/052-ssh_authentication.chroot?h=ubuntu/master which
  is the correct change in the ubuntu/master branch.

  This bug needs only fixing in Jammy and Focal because the fix is
  correct in > Jammy. Jammy has this bug already in the -updates pocket
  but Focal only has the wrong fix in its git branch.

  [test plan]
  * build an image with the proposed fix
  * use a cloud-init cloud-config data to enable ssh password auth (which is disabled by default)
  * check after image boot with "sshd -T" if password authentication is enabled
  * make sure that the file written by cloud-init in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ has a lower number than the file from the image (cloudimg-settings.conf)

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  The change does rename a single file to have correct ordering between the prebuilt cloud images and cloud-init. There are edge-cases where this could create problems but those are acceptable:

  - rebuilt images based on the Ubuntu image which try to delete
  10-cloudimg-settings.conf would no longer work

  But in general this is a bug fix for the changes introduced in
  LP:#1968873
