Julia Kreger cd7b2693f8 Skip read-only devices with metadata erase
HPE "Virtual Install Devices" appear as read-only block
devices, and may... or may not be visible depending on the
bios configuration state.

These devices can no longer be disabled from the bios settings
so the simplest course of action seems to be that we should
handle the existence of a read-only device.

In the event of secure erase, this is treated as a hard failure
case and a driver_internal_info flag has been added to enable
a future bypass method for knowledgable operators.

Fixes an issue where metadata erasure cleaning would fail on devices
that are read-only at the hardware level. Typically these are virtual
devices being offered to the operating system for purposes like OS
self-installation.
In the case of full device erasure, this is explicitly raised as
a hard failure requiring operator intervention.
