Fixes a systemd freeze after cancelling debconf UI.

When using systemd and performing a oem installation using a debconf_ui
frontend there is a scenario requiring a reboot to continue (more details
at LP: #1749289).

There were several causes for this:
* bin/oem-config-firstboot - 'set -e' had to be removed, because otherwise
    the script was terminated and no exit code check was done so
    code 10 return from oem-config-wrapper was not handled in the if block.
* bin/ubiquity cancelling the installation returned a code 10,
    which then lead to performing a wizard.do_reboot(). This method
    was not implemented for the debconf frontend. This caused an exception
    and exiting the process with code 1.
    Moreover, stealing the terminal control with the termios.TIOCSCTTY
    made doing input/output in oem-config-firstboot impossible, so even
    after falling into if [ $CODE -eq 10 ] block nothing was presented
    to the user.

After fixing the above issues user is presented with 3 options: to try again,
launch a shell or reboot (as originally intended in the code).

  * Rename the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" installer step to "Updates and
    other software" according to the design, thanks Matthew for pointing out
    the inconsistency

  * gui/gtk/stepPrepare.ui:
    - updated the non-free-software text to not include the mention to the
      MP3 fluendo codecs since those have been superseeded in the recent
      gstreamer version.

* Fix a crash in the KDE frontend - don't refer to a widget that doesn't
  exist. Properly hide the miminal install label and checkbox. (LP:
  #1752323)
* install_misc: Use the `get_casper' function to properly get the location
  of the live media path.

Remove the encrypted userdir option from the gtk installer since
ecryptfs is going to move to universe. The keep the base code in case
the option is added back later using another technology. Thanks seb128!

* debian/ubiquity.templates:
    - enable download of updates during the installation by default.
      That's a better user experience than prompting users with updates
      to install on the first boot after installation. Thanks seb128.
