[Bug 1872718] [NEW] [FFe] Tell users they need to disable BitLocker if it's detected

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

[ Description ]

If you've got a system which only has a Windows drive which is encrypted
using BitLocker, we can't resize it so you can install Ubuntu.

The plan is to show a user interface directing users to a website where
they can view instructions telling them what to do.

[ Test case ]

On a system with Windows 10 installed, and BitLocker enabled (try both
with and without a TPM), try to install. You should see the 'install
alongside' option, and if you pick that one you should get the new UI.
You should also see the 'erase and install' option, which should work.
You'll see the advanced partitioner which won't be able to do anything
with the BitLocker partitions.

On a system with Windows 10 installed and BitLocker *disabled*, you
should be able to resize and install.

This is only implemented for the GTK frontend, so make sure the KDE one
behaves the same as it did before.
