OK, after talking to design and security, we're going to use delays by
default.  Marc suggested a 5 minute wait after 5 failed attempts.  So
I'll start with that.

Design would still like to add the ability to wipe after some failures
as an opt-in option.  See bug 1350449 for that.  I'll revert the bug
title here.

** Summary changed:

- Factory-reset the phone after  enough failure attempts
+ Delay log in attempts after several failed ones

** Branch unlinked: lp:~mterry/unity8/reset-after-failed-logins
