Installer creates anon-whonix even if user opts not to create AppVMs

[andrewdavidwong]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.1):

R3.2

---

Expected behavior:

User chooses the option not to create AppVMs (personal, banking, untrusted, etc.). anon-whonix is not created either, since it is also an AppVM.

Actual behavior:

User chooses not to create AppVMs, but anon-whonix is created anyway.

Of course, this is only relevant if the user also chooses to create Whonix VMs. I'm guessing that selecting that option creates both sys-whonix and anon-whonix. I can understand the rationale behind doing it this way, but I'm not sure if it was an intentional design decision.

You can imagine that many users might want to use sys-whonix for updating dom0 + TemplateVMs, and they may already have their own set of AppVMs based on whonix-ws, so it seems to me that anon-whonix should not automatically be created if the user explicitly deselects the option to create AppVMs.

(Of course, it's easy to just delete the automatically-created anon-whonix if you don't want it, so this is a very minor issue, hence the minor label.)
