[Bug 1866002] [NEW] ubuntu-image should allow to disable console-conf at build time

[Oliver Grawert]

Public bug reported:

currently various odd hacks exist to make sure that console-conf does
not start up on appliance or kiosk systems that are supposed to be user-
less and get managed only via the snapd REST API.

to disable console-conf starting up the file /var/lib/console-
conf/complete must exist in the system. to allow disabling console-conf
at image build time (to overcome the various hacks) something like a
--no-console-conf option should be added to ubuntu-image so no hacks are
necessary anymore for this type of images.

** Affects: ubuntu-image (Ubuntu)
