Bug#1103706: debian-installer: Allow user to specify label for LUKS devices setup during install

[Tyler Riddle <cardboardaardvark@gmail.com>]

I saw a comment about how the feature request belongs in partman-crypto. I'm happy to re-report this there if that is where it belongs.

Notwithstanding the merit of this I wanted to make sure it's understood this is different from my feature request which would be to change the installer workflow so that instead of selecting a LUKS label for me the installer prompts me for what I want the LUKS label to be similar to the way that the LVM configuration workflow works.

Also thank you for giving my feature request some attention.

I realize it's been open for a while but I'd rather not change something
like this this late during the release cycle, so it'd be best to look at
it after Trixie is released.
