Bootloader target editbox need also checkbox

[Roman Polach]

In feisty-beta installation procedure there is "Advanced" button
in "Step 7/7" window that opens dialog where boot-loader stage1 target
can be changed (there is "(hd0)" MBR by default).
Here should be the right place to have also checkbox (checked by default),
which would be used to NOT overwrite any MBR at all, if unchecked.

Note 1: This is really needed option - the only way to avoid MBR rewrite..
Note 2: There is similar bug around, but that is about MBR rewrite confirmation
  *outside* "Advanced" dialog..
Note 3: Placing this option here, in "Advanced" dialog, does not confuse
  non-experienced users, nor it makes installation procedure more complicated
  in any way

As noted in bug 47135, that bug is related to alternate text installer.
This bug is for default graphical installer.
