Find a way to skip activation of (all?) encrypted devices during probing that can be reasonably implemented on time for SP2. Likely an environment variable.
Take AutoYaST into account.
Let's implement the most simple fix: an ENV variable to disable activation of encrypted devices during probing.
Review
-----------
YaST understands the environment variable YAST_ACTIVATE_LUKS. With YAST_ACTIVATE_LUKS=0 the activation of luks can be disabled.
AutoYaST should not be affected by the change. AutoYaST tries all password in the profile without user interaction.
Pain Points
-------------------
- Apparently different rubocop rules in SP1 and SP2.
Scope is 64bit
## Acceptance criteria
1. Installation with `YAST_ACTIVATE_LUKS=0` boot option is tested
2. Cancellation of the encrypted partitions activation is validated (e.g. by successful partitioning of that disk)
