prepare: run in automatic mode with ubiquity/prepare_automatic

This introduces the 'ubiquity/prepare_automatic' preseed option
to allow the prepare plugin to run in automatic mode (i.e. with
the 'automatic-ubiquity' option / ubiquity --automatic)

Currently the prepare plugin is just not run at all in that case,
but some users could benefit from it now that the ISOs ship with
e.g., nvidia drivers, to install 3rd party drivers automatically
during install, and not consume network bandwidth to download it.

The default value for the option is false, so not to change the
current behavior; otherwise more options that are not preseeded
in existing/working preseed files could be asked, and get stuck
in an automated/unattended install.

And when an user preseeds it to true, then it is expected that
such options are preseeded as needed. Note that the only option
needed as seen / not display the page is 'ubiquity/use_nonfree',
according to existing code.
