Update help about automatic login
gnome-help: Create page about automatic login with instructions and link
to the sysadmin guide. Add to Makefile.am.
system-administrator-guide: Update the location of the config file to
match the upsteam default:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/tree/configure.ac#n187. Tidy up code
block and text. Delete autologin.page.stub as it has no content. Mark
strings that do not need translating. Move page from autologin.page to
user-autologin.page so that it matches the gnome-help page.

+ <title>Log in automatically</title>
+
+ <p>You can change your settings so that you are automatically logged in to
+ your account when you start up your computer:</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>Open <app>Settings</app> from the <gui>Activities</gui> overview.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Open the <gui>Users</gui> panel from <app>Settings</app>.</p>

+ startup.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Press <gui style="button">Unlock</gui> and enter your password.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Toggle the <gui>Automatic Login</gui> switch to <gui>On</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>When you next start up your computer, you will be logged in automatically.
+ If you have this opiton enabled, you will not need to type in your password
+ to log in to your account which means that if someone else starts up your
+ computer, they will be able to access your account and your personal data
+ including your files and browser history.</p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>If your account type is <em>Standard</em>, you cannot change this
+ setting; your system administrator
