Provide UI to select install method for a new site [#2890750]

#2754069: API Only: Allow site nodes to specify "install_method", allowing something other than automated Drupal profile. adds backend functionality to install a site manually or some other way.

It would be nice to have a ui for this. It could either be on the site create form or a global option...

This is a bit tricky because Aegir site nodes are "profile-first": that is, you select the profile, then we show the available platforms.

A quick way to do this might be to add a "None" option to the "Install Profiles" list, which would then show all platforms. A new variable to make the "None" option available would be a good idea, so users who still want to require a profile install can.

If people are willing for this to be an opportunity to redesign the site node form a bit, that would be great.
