Title:
Feature: Offer UI to cancel installation
Status in subiquity:

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Ubuntu 18.04.1 amd64 server-live installer:
It would be nice to offer a UI to cancel the installation. So far
while following the menu navigation users can click "back" several
times but then only end up on the first installer prompt (language
selection). There is no way to 'gracefully' cancel an installation.
It may be desirable to provide a menu option to cancel an
installation. If this is selected, users should be informed about
whether permanent changes have been made to their system in the
meantime. User should be informed where subiquity and curtin installer
logs are to be found.
If this option is added, consider trapping the ACPI power button
signal so it also points users to this screen.
Further improvement (provide further options):
* Run ubuntu-bug subiquity
* Drop to a shell (an option currently only available when the installation fails fatally - or by switching TTYs, which not all virtualization environments are good at)
