Title:
  [SDK] Toolkit lacks radio buttons

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently the toolkit has no radio buttons.

  As a result, developers are using checkboxes for groups of options where only one can be selected at a time.
  <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/187978147/new.jpg>

  This is misleading. Everywhere else, checking a checkbox toggles its
  state, whereas here special code is used to ensure it remains checked.
  And on every other platform, checking a checkbox doesn't uncheck
  another checkbox.

  <https://goo.gl/tnwf5y>: "Radio buttons are one of the three types of
  radio control (along with the radio list and the radio menu), letting
  you choose exactly one from a group of options..."
