[Bug 1044553] [NEW] 'password' setting broken by usergroup changes

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

I've posted this little snippet of cloud-config syntax different places:
      #cloud-config
      password: passw0rd
      chpasswd: { expire: False }
      ssh_pwauth: True

And I'd like for it to continue to work.  It was broken by the user-
group changes and currently gives a stack trace in the cc_set_passwords
module.  That exception also breaks the 'ssh_pwauth'.

basically, I think we should do the following:

 * if 'password' appears in cloud-config, then apply it to  the 'default' user if that user does not have a password set.
 * if there is no default user, just complain (log warn) and do not do anything.
