UI: Allow to create a machine as deployed from the UI

[Alberto Donato]

As part of the brownfield work, it is now possible to create machines in maas that are marked as "deployed" even if they haven't been deployed from maas.

This is done by passing deployed=True in the create method (both in the API and the UI).

The UI should provide a way to pass the flag. Currently this is the only change needed in the create form, all other constraints/validation stay the same.

Is this a must-have for 3.1.0? We have an existing LP bug for including all the options when adding a machine, but it looks like it still needs some UX. This looks like an extension of that work, but if it's a separate concern we can just add a checkbox for now and handle the rest later.

I think we could postpone this until the add machine form is reworked.

To use the brownfield feature, users have to run the script on the target machine anyway, and they can use that to create the machine, so having UI for it isn't that critical.

let's wait for the machine form to be reworked.
