Not a feature, but it can't/shouldn't be solved in LightDM.  I've opened
a bug against accountsservice so the feature can be implemented in
there.  (It has to be in the accounts service as other programs contact
that for the list of users, i.e. if we blocked certain users in LightDM,
then they would still show in the user switcher).
