Add support for deleting authentication failure record files
Added fix for #phosphor-user-manager/issues/4
If a user account locked due to user's password with too many
failed attempts use case, password will locked out for same
name account creation. This issues is due to missing authentication
failure record files clear in the account user delete path.
Added function for deleting authentication failure record files
in the account delete api to fix this issue.
faillock command --reset option is used to clear user's failure
records. Refer https://linux.die.net/man/8/faillock for details.
Tested: Created user and perform multiple failed authentication to
lock the account. After Account delete, and recreate a user with
same name , worked as expected.
