Andrew Bartlett 9f53b61f06 CVE-2013-4496:samr: Remove ChangePasswordUser
This old password change mechanism does not provide the plaintext to
validate against password complexity, and it is not used by modern
clients.  It also has quite difficult semantics to handle regarding
password lockout.

The missing features in both implementations (by design) were:

 - the password complexity checks (no plaintext)
 - the minimum password length (no plaintext)

Additionally, the source3 version did not check:

 - the minimum password age
 - pdb_get_pass_can_change() which checks the security
   descriptor for the 'user cannot change password' setting.
 - the password history
 - the output of the 'passwd program' if 'unix passwd sync = yes'.

Finally, the mechanism was almost useless, as it was incorrectly
only made available to administrative users with permission
to reset the password.  It is removed here so that it is not
mistakenly reinstated in the future.
