Bug Description

Can we get the installer in the Alternate ISO to probe for an SSD device (hdparm) and prompt the user if they want TRIM enabled? To my knowledge, this involves the following effective changes:

1. Add the 'discard' mount options for the LVM logical volume (/etc/fstab).

2. Add the 'discard' parameter to the cryptdevice options to make LUKS accept the discard behaviour of the LVM logical volume (/etc/crypttab).

This should be the default behaviour in the standard install.
