Title:
  Ubiquity doesn't offer auto-resize option with GPT partition table
  containing Windows and Ubuntu installs

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE
   1. With a similar partition scheme as follows (with plenty of free space in the Ubuntu partition and no encrypted LVM), start ubiquity
   2. Ensure connection to the Internet
   3. Leave check boxes for additional and third party packages unchecked
   4. Click continue to advance to partitioning choices

  EXPECTED RESULTS
  Among other options, an install alongside option that auto-resizes the Linux partition to make room for the new install.

  ACTUAL RESULTS
  The only options provided are the three guided options that uses the entire disk and the manual option.
