Ubiquity Proposal - Add "minimal" setup with kernel parameter

I like the reasoning but it's pretty heavy refactoring.

With more deliberation, we're starting to think Ubiquity is 
over-complicated. With the move to GNOME, it may be time for new 
installer. We're going to investigate another approach.

Installation = Boot to live session that prompts and configures 
language and kb layout > desktop/dash icon for installation > new 
installer with disk+encryption setup only. GNOME Initial Setup for user 
config on first boot.

We're just determining feasibility at this point. Thanks for the 
feedback so far!
