Public bug reported:

[Impact]

The fix for configuring users for audio in Ubuntu Studio in LP: #2063899
and LP: #2067510 should not affect and launch for the live session user
as it will adversely prompt for a restart when this is not necessary for
the live session.

While the live session user is, admittedly, not part of the audio group
(which should be rectified somehow but is outside of the scope of this
SRU), we want to prevent Ubuntu Studio Audio Configuration from
launching to do this. This is done by preventing a user named `ubuntu-
studio` from running the fix.

[Test Case]

With a live .iso image of Ubuntu Studio

 * Fully `apt upgrade`
 * `systemctl --global enable ubuntustudio-fix-firstrun.service`
 * `systemctl restart sddm`

Expected: Nothing
Actual: User is prompted to reboot

[What could go wrong]

This means that a user cannot be created with the username `ubuntu-
studio` and expect normal operation. Users will be notified via release
notes that this is the case as it's a reserved username for the live
session user. Also, users will be notified via release notes that Ubuntu
Studio should not be normally run via persistent USB but should be
installed to a system, and that we cannot support persistent USB setups.

With the demand Ubuntu Studio has on systems from its applications,
realistically, we don't support USB pendrive setups anyhow, so
persistent USB setups are discouraged, but now they will be explicitly
unsupported.
