Now that the dev-services has merged in the server verification stuff and it actually works, we can now set most of the backend settings straight in the installer, through install.sh and the provision-verify MySQL prompts. This makes the following wizard steps completely irrelevant:

# Getting started
# Basic
# Web server
# Database server

The "features" step can be configured once the site is installed, so I'd also get rid of it. Once that is done, my guess is that #711740: allow install of hostmaster sites in provision-install will magically work and we'll be able to install hostmaster directly in provision, paving the way to #454312: self-provisionning support.

Objections?

No objections, I think we've all agreed this *has* to happen! and will also be a significant usability improvement (cuts out the opportunity for about 80% of our most common user installation woes)

Would love to attack this with you, either when focus has lessened on the provision refactoring (or even during it, since I've not been helpful with that :) )
