UCS-4.0 should install LVM by default

The installer should setup LVM by default, as this allows easily extending file systems later by adding additional physical discs to the server without moving large data sections.
r53163 | Bug #35747 CD: Use LVM for new UCS-4 installations partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select 60some_device_lvm Package: repo-ng Version: 2.0-67.1313.201408291408 Branch: ucs_3.2-0 Scope: internal
- In the partioning dialog, the entry for partitioning with LVM is automatically selected (the second entry) and the user is able to select a different entry - If multiple harddisks are present, only one harddisk is used for the LVM. The harddisk has to be selected by the user. - On my 50G harddisk, the following MBR! partitioning layout has been used automatically: 1) 243 MiB for /boot (Partition starts at sector 2048 → 1MiB) 2) 49.8 GiB for LVM (VG "vg_ucs") 2a) 47.76 GiB for rootfs 2b) 2 GiB for swap - The system is bootable afterwards. → VERIFIED
On larger disks (tested with 3TiB) a GPT is used automatically. In this case 3 Partitions are created: 1) 1MiB for BIOS_BOOT
