fdisk: add --wipe-partitions=auto|never|default
The option allows to remove filesystes/RAIDs from newly created partitions before the partition table is updated (and partition device created). The default is "auto" in this case wipe is enabled in interactive mode only and user's confirmation (yes/no dialog) is required. Note that keep filesystem signature on partition is pretty valid use-case, so we don't erase anything by default. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
