Request: Calamares FileSystemType Chooser #457135

Description

@mateowoetam

I mainly want to be able to choose btrfs on the installer without having to go into the manual partitioning just to do that. Also, if you do decide to add btrfs I would appreciate it if it did the file system with subvolumes.
