Jacob Anders 8bcf1be920 Add support for using NVMe specific cleaning
This change adds support for utilising NVMe specific cleaning tools
on supported devices. This will remove the neccessity of using shred to
securely delete the contents of a NVMe drive and enable using nvme-cli
tools instead, improving cleaning performance and reducing wear on the device.

features:
- Adds support for NVMe-specific storage cleaning to IPA. Currently this is
implemented by using nvme-cli format functionality. Crypto Erase is used
if supported by the device, otherwise the code falls back to User Data
Erase. The operators can control NVMe cleaning by using
deploy.enable_nvme_erase config option which controls
``agent_enable_nvme_erase`` internal setting in driver_internal_info.
