Ubuntu 20.04's GRUB supports multiple EFI disks. There is a small
caveat in that it doesn't prompt in the chroot, but it works fine after
the reboot. Using the stock support means that the ESPs will be kept in
sync automatically.

Refs issue #55
This is how the Ubuntu 20.04 installer configures the ESP to mount at
/boot/efi, so it should be fine to use this convention everywhere.
/dev/md0's /dev/disk/by-uuid entry does not show up immediately, so I
removed the swapon there.

On Ubuntu, console-setup, keyboard-configuration (a dependency of
console-setup), and locales are installed by default. On Debian, we
need to install them manually. (We were already doing so for locales.)
I merged the various dpkg-reconfigure lines into one to simplify. The
order isn't important.

Fixes#59
The docs note that I tested this, but I'm going to remove this, out of
an abundance of caution given the report of failure in #57. I may re-test
later, but this isn't a huge priority for me.
Fixes#57
If the user gives too short of a password when encryption via a hacked
installer, the installer will crash. (I haven't personally verified
this, but it sounds plausible.)

The open-zfs.org host, Dreamhost, returns a page for https://open-zfs.org
(note, httpS://) which causes HTTPS Everywhere with the 'Encrypt All
Eligible Sites' option enabled to redirect http://open-zfs.org to
https://open-zfs.org, and therefore fail to redirect to openzfs.org.
Ideally a redirect would be implemented at Dreamhost for
httpS://open-zfs.org too, but presumably the links in the docs should
really be updated anyway.
zsys was setting canmount=off on bpool/grub. It is now
bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_UUID/grub.

This is the service for /boot/grub/grubenv which does not work on
mirrored or raidz topologies. Disabling this keeps it from blocking
subsequent mounts of /boot/grub if that mount ever fails.

This covers more scenarios, including the need to stop md arrays and
wipe MD partitions.

Installing the full vim package fixes terminal problems that occur when
using the vim-tiny package (that ships in the Live CD environment) over
SSH.

This now mentions that the user might want to customize the swap size.
It also specifically mentions hibernation and the requirement to size
the swap at least as large as the system RAM.
Note: I have not tested hibernation.

The previous "Install GRUB/Linux/ZFS in the chroot..." step had two
conditionals ("For a single-disk install only" and "Choose one..."). It
was not clear to readers if these were mutually exclusive.

If someone edits the installer to use encryption, they should also setup
encrypted swap. I have now added instructions for that.

This makes the PermitRootLogin changes part of the actual steps rather
than a comment. I've also made its removal an explicit step.

This also involved a bunch of reindenting and rewrapping.
I reworked the Live CD sources on Debian to be more consistent with
Ubuntu (and the chroot sources configuration on Debian).
I reworked the zpool create wrapping and the mirror/raidz notes. This
should be more clear on how to create the multi-disk topologies.
I fixed a couple formatting issues too (mainly one backtick where
there should have been two).

I have backported some of the cosmetic and other minimal changes to
Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian Buster. This keeps the deltas as small as
reasonably possible.
