#8945: Make ReadOnlyBootPrompt show up also on writable devices if no locale

Comment (by mmadia):
Regarding the patch, using "/boot/home/config/settings/Locale settings" is
not applicable. For english users who have no need to launch Locale (or
change any settings), the settings file will never be created. Thus,
ReadOnlyBootPrompt will always launch
However, would utilizing {{{
freshInstallIndicator=/boot/common/settings/fresh_install }}} suffice?
That file will exist on every read-only media, first boot of writable
images (usb,vmdk), and (if installing directly to partition via the build
system or a mounted image file) hard disk.
The last scenario (of installing directly to hard disk through the build
system or mounted image file) may not be ideal, but it generally tends to
be an advanced intsallation method. Additionally, it will occur only on
the first boot.
Thoughts?
