[Bug 1793671] [NEW] Proprietary drivers are installed locally instead of target system

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Public bug reported:

On a system with hardware requiring proprietary drivers (eg nVidia graphics card), when the user selects to install restricted add-on and proprietary driver, ubuntu-drivers runs immediately the the installer exists the prepare step.
Doing so it installs the drivers on the live session while it should be installed on the target filesystem.
Therefore after installation the proprietary drivers are not installed on the system.
