Public bug reported:
Test Case:
1. On a EFI machine with an existing system installed in BIOS mode (without an
ESP partition), boot 18.04.1 (in EFI mode)
2. Select manual partitioning
3. Resize the main partition
4. Allocate the free space to Ubuntu and do not create an ESP partition
5. Proceed with the installation
Result
Grub setup and installation fail.
Given it'll always fail the installer should either display a warning or
completely forbid the type of setup and prevent the user from confirming
the new partitioning scheme if he didn't create an ESP partition.
