Why not use UbuntuOSPassword in vmware_vm_shell

Hi, first of all, thank you for this :-)

I have noted that that password literal is used in four places where I think that "{{ UbuntuOSPassword }}" should be used instead.

I am making a note of this now, but I also expect to create a pull request with, possibly, other changes, once I have this running on macOS.
