Bug description:
  === Being SRU Template ===
  [Impact]
  Users of cloud-init can change passwords on a system by providing input
  to chpasswd as a string:
    #cloud-config
    chpasswd:
      list: |
        user1:password1

  Confusingly, the 'list' is actually not a list, but a multi-line string.
  The change made in this bug supports either.

  [Test Case]
  There is an integration test in cloud-init that runs though this code.
  To run that:

  $ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init
  $ cd cloud-init

  # download the appropriate deb for cloud-init from -proposed
  $ rel=xenial
  $ pver=$(rmadison --url=ubuntu --suite=$rel-proposed cloud-init | awk '{print $3}')
  $ fname="cloud-init_${pver}_all.deb"
  $ wget "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cloud-init/$fname";
  $ ln -sf $fname cloud-init_all.$rel.deb
  $ tox -e citest -- run -v -n $rel --deb=cloud-init_all.$rel.deb \
     -t tests/cloud_tests/testcases/modules/set_password_list_string.py \
     -t tests/cloud_tests/testcases/modules/set_password_list.py

  That will install the new cloud-init into a container and run
  with user data to excercise this new feature.

  
  [Regression Potential]
  Very low regression potential.  The test case shown provides both
  the previously supported path (a string) and the new path (a list).

  === End SRU Template ===

  If cloud-config contains list of user:password pairs as in example
  below

  chpasswd:
    list:
      - user1:pwd001
      - user2:pwd002

  cc_set_passwords converts list of user:password lists to str and as
  result user names get corrupted.
