vnc: Don't demote authentication scheme when changing password/disabling login
Currently when disabling login in VNC, the password is cleared out and the
authentication protocol is forced to AUTH_VNC. If you're using a stronger
authentication protocol, this has the effect of downgrading your security
protocol.
Fix this by only changing the authentication protocol if the current
authentication protocol is AUTH_NONE. That ensures we're never downgrading.
