  [SRU] Option in ubuntustudio-installer pulling-in gdm3

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Users of desktops other than GNOME are erroneously installing
  "ubuntustudio-gnome-branding" from the package selection, causing gdm3
  and all of gnome-shell to be pulled-in as dependencies. Users of
  desktops other than GNOME, especially if new to Linux, don't know any
  better and select it regardless.

   * While pulling-in and configuring gdm3, dpkg waits for the user to
  select between gdm3 and an already-installed DM, such as lightdm or
  sddm.

   * This upload fixes this by eliminating the "ubuntustudio-gnome-
  branding" from the selection.

  [Test Case]

   * Using any flavor other than Ubuntu proper (i.e. the GNOME) desktop,
  install and run ubuntustudio-installer, selecting "ubuntustudio-gnome-
  branding" as an option. Click the "Install" button.

   * Installer will hang while awaiting DM selection instructions from
  the user, but are not available due to the way Ubuntu Studio
  Installer's tk/tcl script functions (does not present a selection
  dialog).

  [Regression Potential]

   * Since nothing depends on ubuntustudio-installer to run
  functionally, there is no regression potential.

  [Other Info]
   
   * This was not done originally as it was thought that users would actually read the description of the package explaining that it's for the default GNOME desktop only. Unfortunately, questions on askubuntu.com and in the IRC chat room have appeared with this very issue.
