casper: remove code with no purpose

The removed line has no effect because the "read" command will be run in
a subshell and thus the envionment variables that it sets will not be
visible from the parent shell.

Add support for mounting exfat filesystems

Now that exfat is officially supported by the kernel, allow it to be used.
This is especially needed for booting and iso by file. The latest isos
are larger than 4G, so they exceed the maximum files size for a FAT32
filesystem, which is the only operating system easily interoperable with
Windows.

Allow device with loopback loaded iso to be removed when toram is specified

When running from ram, the iso's backing device should be unused by the
livecd. The expected use case is that a user is loading the iso from a
removable device (eg. usb stick) and wants to start the livecd and remove
the device while the livecd system is running.

Allow mounting unsafe filesystems when the unsafe-mount boot param is used

If a user really wants to use an iso located on a filesystem that is
unsafe to mount (eg. a journalled filesystem), they must specify the
"unsafe-mount" kernel boot parameter.

Have show-cow actually show the cow dir

Until commit 40489842 ("Drop exposing /cow tree"), the upperdir of the
overlayfs of the live cd was exposed as /cow. Confusingly that commit
states that "because /cow is tmpfs, one cannot actually move it". This
is incorrect, the mount --move works fine. This patch conditionally
reinstates the previous behavior, when "showmounts" or "show-cow" is
a kernel parameter. Instead of putting the cow in the root directory, as
was previously done, it is put with the rest of the mounts made user
accessible via the afore mentioned kernel parameters.

Introduce tweaks for the desktop canary image

- tweak the defaults to create an 'installer only' layout
- always display the accessibility menu in the installer
- autostart the GUI
- restore the session layout on exit for the 'try ubuntu' option
- write a configuration to tell subiquity to use the hwe kernel

the script check if the ubuntu-desktop-installer snap to be installed
to determine if the session is a canary one, which isn't ideal but should
do the job for now
