Corey Wright 96961070ee Allow erasing metadata from disk partitions
Modify the metadata erasing call chain to retrieve a list of devices
that includes partitions in addition to disks so it can erase metadata
from all of them, otherwise incidentally recreating disk partitions
causes the Linux kernel to discover and automatically recreate some
types of storage entities (eg LVM PVs, VGs, & LVs, RAID members &
devices).

Erase metadata on disk partitions to prevent the Linux kernel from
automatically recreating storage entities (eg LVM, RAID) described by the
metadata. The Hardware Manager API was correspondingly modified to
optionally include partitions when listing block devices. See `story
2003673 <https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2003673>`_ for details.
