Bug Description

We'd like to remove the 'cloud-image' seed, and at the moment cloud-init is one of 3 packages not in ubuntu-server.
So, we'd like to put it into ubuntu-server and thus the default server install.

cloud-init can be completely disabled through a systemd generator by:
  touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled

I spoke with cyphermox, and it seems that probably the right way for this to happen is for cloud-init to prompt at install time at the proper priority and then the installer will ask. Alternatively, we could seed the question in the installer preseed so there is no prompt and it is disabled.

In ubuntu bionic, cloud-init can now be installed without side-effects.
Its generator will only enable cloud-init if a cloud-platform is detected.
