Title:
  Installing non-free drives fails due to simple-plugins calling
  `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ...`

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Currently installing bionic 18.04.6 candidate images on a system that
  uses non-free drivers (via ubuntu-drivers) will fail installing those
  additional drivers. The reason for that is that the call to simple-
  plugins fails as it tries to execute `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall (...)
  --package-list (...)`, which is syntax that has been deprecated in the
  current ubuntu-drivers-common package.

  The fix is to use `ubuntu-drivers install ...` as we do for focal+.

  [Test Case]

  Rebuild images with the -proposed ubiquity (or hack it in manually to an iso), perform installation on a system using ubuntu-drivers (for instance, NVidia GPU), check "Install third-party software...", finish installation and check if the installed system has the required drivers installed.
  Additionally a quick browse through the syslog of the ubiquity installation would be a nice double-check.

  [Regression Potential]

  Currently installing ubuntu-drivers via ubiquity does not work at all,
  so the only regression here is that the new argument might be somehow
  incomplete causing not all drivers to be installed.
