[Bug 1762010] [NEW] auto-recognize bitlocker partitions and drives

[Bump]

Public bug reported:

I would like that ubuntu detects when a drive or partition is protected
by bitlocker, so prompts for password   after clicking on the unit icon,
from any filesystem manager like nautilus or dolphin. Basically,
replicate the Windows behavior would be the ideal.

The automatic recognition helps prevent users from wiping the drive or
partition in case they think it's unformatted.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Attachment added: "Bitlocker prompt to enter decrypt password."
