Currently, we have 3x and 2x options, for gfxboot and uefi boot respectively.

The gfxboot theme encodes the default of maybe-ubiquity which is hidden; and then displays two text options of only-ubiquity and `try`.

On uefi, there is no hidden menu and only 2x only-ubiquity and `try`.

The proposed option will be 1x only, for both gfxboot and uefi boot, which is just `maybe-ubiquity` this is due to setting NOTRYONLYDO=true variable in that case, which does not generate `Install Ubuntu` option at all..

This is to unify the boot to always boot to maybe-ubiquity. Especially on uefi.

This change originates from the release sprint, acked by willcooke, and fact that the most common boot method, uefi, never uses the pretty maybe-ubiquity welcome screen.

Design team - no idea who would that be, but must people vomit upon seeing EFI grub...
