Title:
  Azure: cloud-init will not set password on existing user

Status in cloud-init:
  New
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Provisioning with a user password is supported on Azure, however it
  seems the behavior of cloud-init is to not set the user password if
  the user already exists.  Ideally, if the user exists, then during
  provisioning cloud-init will read the user password from the ovf-
  env.xml file as usual and attempt to set that password for the
  existing user.

  Repro:
  1) Capture or upload a user image with a pre-created user
  2) Provision a VM with a password

  Expected: password is (re)set on the user account based on the info in the ovf-env.xml file.
  Result: password is not set.
