This comes of watching a d-i newbie install. She did the guided
partitioing with no trouble, selected finish. Probably saw too much on
the screen and chose No at the confirmation. So that's a little bit
confusing.
The really confusing bit is that when she picked No, she was dumped into
the main menu. From there, it was mass confusion. Selecting No should
not go to the main menu, I think it should go back to the main
partitioning screen, so a user can modify the partitioing easily.

active_partition): add a warning in the partition setup menu when
the data in the partition is going to be formated.

a method. Thanks to Joey Hess, closes: #250969

progress bars when formatting partitions. Thanks to Christian
