Bug Description
Ubuntu 18.04.1 amd64 server-live installer:
It would be nice to offer a UI to cancel the installation. So far while following the menu navigation users can click "back" several times but then only end up on the first installer prompt (language selection). There is no way to 'gracefully' cancel an installation.
It may be desirable to provide a menu option to cancel an installation. If this is selected, users should be informed about whether permanent changes have been made to their system in the meantime. User should be informed where subiquity and curtin installer logs are to be found.
If this option is added, consider trapping the ACPI power button signal so it also points users to this screen.
Further improvement (provide further options):
* Run ubuntu-bug subiquity
* Drop to a shell (an option currently only available when the installation fails fatally - or by switching TTYs, which not all virtualization environments are good at)

I'm not sure about this. We should add a way to drop to a shell though.
