Hardware Activation

Registered by Scott James Remnant (Canonical)

Our current boot process has parts that rely on certain pieces of hardware being available, such as networking, bluetooth, sound and printers. We should instead provide a means to activate these when the hardware is detected rather than assuming it exists, and move the startup scripts into activation scripts instead.
