[Bug 1152496] [NEW] Remove default value for where to install grub

[Arbiel Perlacremaz]

Public bug reported:

Hi

This is not really a bug report, but rather a improvement request. The
subject is close to the subject of #461085

No default value should be used for the location where to install grub,
as, inadvertently, the user may omit to specify where he really wants to
install grub, and the /dev/sda value may be a great inconvenience for
the user. The point that he made a mistake seems to me less relevant
than avoiding him to make that mistake.

He may even want no grub to be installed.

For the least, showup a confirmation request, but rather remove any
default value and, if the user did not specify any location, ask him to
confirm he does not want any grub to be installed.
