this executes the guest agent command 'set-user-password'
with which one can change the password of an existing user in the vm

sending as rfc, because i am not sure if we want this kind
of api call at all, and if we do, if the permissions are enough
(with VM.Monitor you can do a lot already, e.g. dumping guest memory)
or if we want to try to expand the register_command method to
integrate parameters (which is not that easy, especially if qemu
wants the password base64 encoded, etc.)

i tested this on current debian and windows, and i did not encounter
any problems; the passwords were succesfully set
