A key*word* would not do. Remember our life is complicated because we
do not want the user to have to type a string using a keyboard that
was not localized yet. If we did not care, we would not have to do
anything else than what is implemented already.

I suggest:

  1. revert the commit in the feature/tails-greeter branch of
     tails.git that disables autologin
  2. see how comes autologin => t-g is skipped
     (probably a live-config script does the trick, I guess)
  3. do whatever is needed to have #2 not done by live-config at boot
     time. I think this belongs to tails.git rather than to
     tails-greeter, if the implementation is likely to depend on the
     live-config version being used, and it may be nice to avoid
     binding t-g to a particular version.
