Julia Kreger 3d778db0c4 Add knob for read-only and "erase_devices"
In https://review.opendev.org/#/c/704725 we merged a change to
allow the agent to navigate read-only block devices. By default
we always failed on the more secure "erase_devices" clean step as
meta-data only erasure still leaves any sensitive information on
the storage medium.

That being said, it may be operationally okay for read-only devices
to be ignored during the "erase_devices" clean step. Only the
operator can make that call, and we should enable them to be able
to assert that in the configuration to IPA.

features:
- |
Adds the capability for an operator to set a configuration setting which
tells the ironic-python-agent it is okay to skip read-only block devices
when performing an ``erase_devices`` cleaning operation. This requires
ironic-python-agent version 6.0.0 or greater and can be set using the
``[deploy]erase_skip_read_only`` configuration option.
other:
- |
Starting in ironic-python-agent 6.0.0, metadata erasure of read-only
devices is skipped by default.
