installer ignores preseeding settings added after --

I'll be applying the changes from http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer.git/commit/?id=10af2f56; but fixed to properly apply to our older version of debian-installer.

This will also need an installation-guide update to note the changes, also cherry-picking a commit from upstream (svn revision 69498)

This bug was fixed in the package installation-guide - 20100518ubuntu12

---------------
installation-guide (20100518ubuntu12) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-picked changes:
    - Update documentation for changes to the multi partitioning scheme: /usr
      is no longer made onto its own separate partition, but rather included
      with /.
    - Replace -- with --- in details about how to pass parameters to the kernel
      that need to be passed on to the installed system. (LP: #1427252)

This bug would also affect utopic.

Also needs a change in debian-cd, so that it applies to the usual images, and not just mini.iso.

For trusty, it's incredibly invasive to switch from -- to --- for only some d-i variants, so this change will end up affecting all variants, from vanilla to lts-utopic to lts-vivid. This shouldn't cause any real issues, I'd guess, since people who pass custom args via automation already completely override the d-i command line to replace it with their own anyway.
