* GET /mirror now returns:
* the URL of all the candidates
* the URL of the candidate staged for testing (if any - otherwise null)
* the URL of the elected candidate (if any - otherwise null)
* POST /mirror can now be invoked in different ways:
* Make fr.archive.ubuntu.com be the elected mirror ; and mark the
mirror model configured:
{"elected": "http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"}
* Mark us.archive.ubuntu.com as staged for testing.
This replaces POST /mirror/candidate that was recently introduced
(except it does not override model.candidates)
{"staged": "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"}
* Replace the list of candidates with the new values. Not used on
practice, but can be used for testing / debugging.
{"candidates": ["http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"]}
* Explicit way to trigger the election of a mirror automatically.
If a mirror is elected, the model will be marked configured ;
otherwise an exception is raised. This would be the recommended
option for the desktop installer NOTE: maybe something like
null
A combination of multiple key can also be used.

Country mirrors start with no URI. Make sure we skip those if we don't
receive a geoip query response.

Although it is not recommended, a client can mark the mirror model
configured by way of meta/mark_configured. If this happens, we will now
automatically run mirror testing to find the right candidate.

Clients that do not have a mirror screen can now rely on mirror testing
in a way similar to autoinstall. They can do so by sending a POST
request to /mirror with null in the body.
The call will block and will only return after Subiquity has either:
* found a suitable mirror and elected it (mirror gets marked
configured)
* failed to find a suitable mirror ; a NoUsableMirrorError extception
gets raised.

When Subiquity starts, we no longer assign the elected mirror. This
means that marking the mirror model configured without selecting a
mirror is possible, and will cause trouble during install.

Allows clients to call specific endpoint on demand
as the user inputs data, looking for a smoother UX.
Better wording check_admin_user_name docstring:
- "all the possible errors" is too strong.
Previously unformatted partition creation was blocked, but supplying
None does seem to do the right thing, and we want to support creation of
unformatted partitions. Allow it and add a API test to help document it
as an intended feature.
This patchs makes Subiquity internally support multiple primary
sections. Emphasis on "internally" because we only accept a single
section for autoinstalls. This is a first step into making it possible
to use multiple candidates mirrors.

When the user selects a language, we now attempt to generate the
relevant locale definition. The generation can fail for multiple reasons
(including running as non-root) so a failure is not considered fatal.

By setting the LANG variable and passing clean_locale=False, the apt-get
command will be translated if the locale definition exists on the
system.

We used to set LC_ALL=C unconditionally when executing a command. This
is a problem if we want the output of a specific command to be
translated (provided a locale definition and an actual translation exist
for the requested language).
This patch adds the clean_locale parameter, which can be used to specify
if we want the locale variable to be cleaned, to most of the helpers
that execute commands.
The value defaults to True so the default behavior is preserved.
If one wants a command to be translated, they have to explicitly pass
clean_locale=False.

Plus the first lines of test.
**Notice that the AD Controller is not required.**
POST'ing still incomplete: just a placeholder method to enable cycling
between testing and writing code.
Now testing the API is possible.
ADConnectionInfo to be the model data submited by clients
ADValidationResult models the enum returned from a POST request.
(input must be validated in the server)
During TUI launch, turn systemd ShowStatus off. We don't want to do that
earlier, if we did then the easier path would be quiet boot or something
similar. This is done here so that service completion messages don't
overwrite the console.
