Title:
  [SRU] fix for user first run should not affect live session user

Status in ubuntustudio-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntustudio-installer source package in Noble:
  In Progress
Status in ubuntustudio-installer source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [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.
