    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>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Select the user account that you want to log in to automatically at
+      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
+    <link href="help:system-administrator-guide/user-autologin">can change this
+    setting</link> for you.</p>
