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.
