[Bug 1853859] [NEW] [Feature request] Special mount options for SSD by default in installer

Public bug reported:

When installing Ubuntu desktop onto an SSD special mount options could
be added by the installer by default to help newbies prolong their
drive's lifespan. Some of these options (discard) depend on the type of
the target drive and the filesystem used, but noatime and nodiratime
should be a safe default choice for most desktop installations with
SSDs. (I believe the pros overweight the cons in this typical usage
scenario.)

Also btrfs might worth to be considered the new default choice for this
use-case to prevent bitrot.
