REVISION SUMMARY
  AccountsService is a bit weird, the automatic login flag adjusts a
  config file in /etc/gdm/
  
  This doesn't work for two reasons:
  
  1. SDDM (our Display Manager) obviously doesn't read this file
  2. AccountsService doesn't create the folder if it doesn't exist, so we
  
  can't even use if we tried.
  
  This patch adjusts UserManager to write /etc/sddm.conf directly. It's
  not ideal, but I think it's the only option we have, certainly in the
  short term.
  
  BUG: 363058

TEST PLAN
  Set automatic login on a user
  Restarted KCM, still set
  Set it on another user, config changed properly, old user was updated
  Unchecked it on my current user, config file was unset properly

REPOSITORY
  R128 User Manager

  master
