Overview of the Issue

When using the new SSH on Windows functionality, it doesn't appear to be setting build.Password (that is recommend here).

It seems to be the same issue as https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-azure/issues/267

Reproduction Steps

using this provisioner

  provisioner "powershell" {
    environment_vars  = ["WINDOWSPASS=${build.Password}"]
    scripts     = [demo.ps1"]
  }

with a demo.ps1

Write-Host "Windows Administrator password is: $Env:WINDOWSPASS"
Current output
 Using SSH communicator to connect: x.x.x.x
 Waiting for SSH to become available...
 Connected to SSH!

 Provisioning with powershell script: demo.ps1

Windows password is empty!
