[Bug 1870337] [NEW] Add an option to skip integrity check

Thu Apr 2 12:32:31 UTC 2020

Public bug reported:

There are several cases where integrity check is not an absolute
requirement, for example for installations of VMs directly from a file
on a local filesystem, automated installations, VMWare easy install...

It'd be nice to have an option to disable this check by passing an
option on the boot command line.
