[Bug 1326978] [NEW] Ubiquity uses fs_passno "1" for the ESP

[YannUbuntu]

Public bug reported:

Ubiquity creates the ESP line in /etc/fstab in a way that conflicts with
the description of the /etc/fstab in the man page for fstab.

The 16th paragraph in the man page for fstab describes fs_passno.  It is
supposed to be 1 for the root filesystem, 2 for all other filesystems
which are to have fsck run on them, and 0 for all other mounts for which
fsck is not to be run.

However, Ubiquity uses fs_passno 1 for the ESP line in fstab.
Eg, after installing Ubuntu on a UEFI system, the fstab file looks like:
UUID=4D50-92GF /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1

According to the fstab manpage, it should be:
UUID=4D50-92GF /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 2
