[Carlos Nihelton <mp+465894@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carlos Nihelton has proposed merging ~cnihelton/ubuntu-manual-tests:update-wsl into ubuntu-manual-tests:main.

Commit message:
Updates WSL test cases:

- fix reference to x11-utils package when aiming to install x11-apps
- adds a check for unexpected users being created automatically
- asserts that X11 and Wayland apps can run


Requested reviews:
  Tim Andersson (andersson123)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~cnihelton/ubuntu-manual-tests/+git/ubuntu-manual-tests/+merge/465894

Motivation for the changes are two fold:

1. The instructions recommend installing x11-utils to run xclock, which comes from x11-apps instead.

2. A recent bug reported afffecting Noble shown that when we have a default user created by cloud-init by default, WSLg fails to run Wayland applications, but succeed in running X11 apps, so our test cases wouldn't ever detect that.
