[Bug 819624] [NEW] casper doesn't configure autologin for lightdm properly

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

lightdm changed it's syntax with the most recent version and also no
longer requires a configuration file causing the automatic login
normally configured for the 'ubuntu' user to stop working.

Derivatives will still use /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf but you can't rely
on the contents anymore and just replace a string with a regular
expression.  Standard ubuntu doesn't have /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.

This failure is with the mythbuntu lightdm conf but will happen on all
cases of lightdm right now.
