[Bug 1572198] [NEW] fwupdate-signed should be installed in EFI mode

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

With 16.04, support was added for firmware updates via the fwupdate
/fwupdate-signed/fwupd stack.

On UEFI systems fwupdate-signed is supposed to be installed in case the
user turns on secure boot.

For upgrades this is being fixed in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-
upgrader/+bug/1571679 to install fwupdate-signed on upgrade.


For ubiquity installs, if ubiquity detects it's on an EFI system it will mark fwupdate-signed for installation.  
The same thing should be mirrored for d-i installs.
