[Bug 2138557] [NEW] Wifi passwords entered during OEM install are still present after "Prepare for shipping to end user"

Public bug reported:

My workflow is to install via the OEM installation method, and run a
post-install script on every machine. Usually it's laptops, so I connect
them to my home-Wifi because this way I can also make sure that Wifi is
actually working for the person to receive the laptop. When I'm done, I
run the "Prepare for shipping to end user" thing from desktop.

The bug is that the "Prepare for shipping to end user" does not wipe the
saved Wifi connections, so people who receive this laptop will have my
home Wifi saved in their brand new system.

There is already a merge request for this:
