Greeters not aware of locked accounts

Bug Description

Using Kubuntu12.10 amd64, all packages up to date as of 2012-12-09.

I have created a dozen user accounts on the machine which have no password set AND the password locked. Therefore they are never able to login.
Nevertheless, the LightDM login screen lists them, which clutters the view.

Example of creating such an user acount:
 useradd --create-home --shell /bin/bash --user-group testuser
 passwd -l testuser

Requires information not provided from LightDM backend.

AccountsService does correctly report if an account is locked. If LightDM team are happy and confirm the bug I will add a USER_PROP_LOCKED enum value so that they can be filtered by client code.

Ack - if there is a locked property then it should be propogated to greeters.
