[Bug 1996895] [NEW] Bootloader is installed on the first EFI partition found regardless of the selected drive by the user

[pepevc]

Public bug reported:

If a drive with Windows is present during Ubuntu installation, Ubuntu
will install its bootloader on the Windows drive, regardless of the
drive selected by the user.

It is desirable to bypass grub menus and select the drive to boot with
the BIOS capabilities (F8 -> Windows drive or Ubuntu drive). This is
unfortunately not possible because the bootloader is installed the
Windows drive regardless of user's choice.
