Encrypted volume release criteria

The only final release criteria pertaining to disk encryption has to
do with keyboard support, so skipping that. For beta there is only one
criteria applying to encrypted disks, and it reads:

When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to:

Correctly interpret, and modify as described below, any disk with a
valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table containing ext4
partitions, LVM and/or btrfs volumes, and/or software RAID arrays at
RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 containing ext4 partitions
[...snip...]
Encrypt newly-created storage volumes

What about existing LUKS, which is a PV->VG containing LVs one of
which is /home that the user wishes to preserve? The way this
currently reads, it suggests only new LUKS volumes are supported?

Example bug I think is a beta blocker candidate:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200749
I think this could be solved with a rewrite, moving the 1st bullet up
and incorporating it with the lead text because the current 1st bullet
states with "as described below" that subsequent bullets are further
qualifiers of this main statement.

DRAFT rewrite of the thesis statement:

When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to
correctly interpret, create, and modify any disk with valid ms-dos or
gpt disk label; LVM volumes; LUKS volumes; software RAID sets levels
0, 1 and 5;  ext4, XFS, or Btrfs file systems to:

## all of those storage types must be interpretable, createable, and
modifiable; and if they already exist they must each be valid as a
prerequisite for said interpreting, creating, and modifying. And this
includes LUKS volumes.That alone pretty much fixes it, but then I
think the bullets could be simplified as follows:

- Create, assign, or delete mount points to/from new and existing
storage volumes
- Assign sizes to newly-created storage volumes and containers
- Remove existing or planned storage volumes (from the planned layout)
## sure the parenthetical part is necessary or adds clarity somehow)
- Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing
