[Bug 1867437] [NEW] installer does not allow for encypted dual boot installation

[Chris Ward]

Public bug reported:

I want to install Ubuntu as dual boot alongside a RedHat Enterprise 7.7 system. Both systems need LUKS encryption, i.e. with /boot unencrypted but / and /home encrypted.
I installed RedHat first; that installed as I wanted. Then I installed Ubuntu 20.04 development branch .
The Ubuntu installer did not offer an option for encryption.
Also, when the Ubuntu installer completed, there was no option in the grub menu to boot the RedHat system.
