[Bug 1472514] [NEW] Installer fails to install/find existing efi partition when manual paritioning selected. No option to manually set efi in the partioner

[Joel Wirāmu Pauling (aenertia)]

Public bug reported:

When the default "Install alongside windows boot manager" option is
unchecked and manual paritioning is done via "something else" option in
the ubuntu installer. There is no way to easily select the existing efi
parition as the grub install location.

If no selection is made Ubuntu should default to installing along side
existing EFI partitions (probably if there are multiple on disk in all
of them). Instead of failing at grub installation.
