Let's issue the wiping ourselves, so that we know it's done before we write partition data onto the disk, and before the disk label is written. Before this commit the writing of the disk label would imply the wiping step, potentially overriding again what we just wrote into the disk data section. (Normally this shouldn't matter, since the partition table metadata that the wiping process deletes is at the start and end of the disk while we write our data to the middle, but you never know what kind of weird signatures might exist that depart from that.) (And effectively this ends up using the same wiping code, since that's implemented in libblkkid, and libfdisk just acts as frontend to that anyway. We now simply call it directly.)
