Shuffling the password to avoid having a subset of characters in fixed
positions.
Related to CLOUDSTACK-9052.
I am shuffling the characters in the password, to avoid having a certain
char type in fixed positions. I modified the tests accordingly to only check
that the different character types are present.
I think it would be good to remove the hard requirement to have at least
one of digits, upper-case, and lowercase chars, as it reduces the number of
possible combinations passwords can take. What do you think?
