Bug description:
  [Impact]
  LightDM does not correctly use PAM to change users passwords when they expire. This causes some PAM modules (e.g. pam_ldap) to not correctly perform password changing.

  [Test Case]
  1. Setup LDAP logins
  2. Expire users password
  3. Attempt to log into greeter
  Expected result:
  - User is prompted to change password. Password limitations are correctly enforced.
  Observed result:
  - User is prompted to change password. Password limitations are not correctly enforced.

  [Regression Potential]
  Any PAM module that relied on the previous incorrect behaviour might behave differently. It is not expected that any module would intentionally do this.
