Title:
  [SRU] New feature: Active Directory support

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  TODO

  [Impact]

  This feature allows to join a machine to an Active Directory domain at
  installation time.

  It adds a check box in the user info stage, which once selected
  displays a page to enter the credentials to join the domain.

  It installs the required packages on the target filesystem and
  configures SSSD and Kerberos so it works on first boot.

  This feature also required a change to the seed to include additional packages for AD connectivity.

  [Test Plan]

  [Where problems could occur]

  If the python code and debconf templates, Ubiquity won't start at all
  or the user info page will not be displayed. So it will highly visible
  and easy to diagnose.

  Otherwise, SSSD and Kerberos may not be configured correctly and will
  prevent login as an AD user. In this case, we still keep the local
  user and it is possible to log in and diagnose and fix the issue.

  [Other Info]
  Built and tested on latest focal daily image.
