Title:
  Add HWE variants to debian-installer for all arches

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in debian-installer source package in Bionic:
  New

Bug description:
  [ SRU Justification ]
  As in previous LTSes, bionic needs HWE d-i variants, both for netboot and for alternate d-i server ISOs.  All architectures should be supported this time.

  [ Test Case ]
  Boot HWE variants and make sure they both boot with the HWE kernel and later install it.  The installation should be otherwise unchanged from a non-HWE variant.

  [ Regression Potential ]
  This is (mostly) copy and paste from xenial, and should Just Work.  No changes are made to non-HWE variants (except an unrelated kernel ABI bump), so nothing should regress in the current d-i, the worst case scenario is that the new variants don't work.;
