Description
This patch adds the ability to configure a number of days after which user's passwords should expire. It uses the recently introduced User#passwd_changed_on field. The user-visible end result is the same as if an administrator had manually marked a user with must_changed_passwd.
This patch is against current trunk (r14155) including tests. It was extracted from Planio where we developed this patch for a customer.
This patch might be related to #3155, although this is not directly mentioned there.

The feature sounds good. I have applied the patch and works fine.
It would be great if there is password expiration message like the following example. I am worried that some users will get confused without a message like this.
