Enable prevent automatic booting when the disk moves system

Prevent automatic booting when the disk is moved between (UEFI) systems feature hardens the automatic boot process of Drive Encryption by disallowing systems from automatically booting when the disk is moved between systems. Instead, it displays the pre-boot authentication screen. This prevents autoboot from functioning when a disk is moved between the systems, and also ensures that the system's encryption key is never stored to disk in plain-text form.
