When waiting for devices to refresh a stat can fail with the
error message 'stat: /dev/vda1: stat: no such file or directory'.
This was observered with empty raw disks (*.img) that was being
created by the moby/hyperkit go library.
This commit restores the previous logic of refreshing with mdev
instead of returning an error.

- Added new argument -force to the format utility. This will force formatting of the specified single device if it exists and is a block device
- By default, the format package will no longer format the specified single device if content exists on that device
- Added new blkid-based check for content, in addition to the existing check for partitions on autoformat candidate devices.
- Cleanup of old unused code.
- Refactoring of block device verification.
- Added test/cases/040_packages/006_format_mount/005_by_device_force
- Added document of new arguments to /docs/external-disk.md. Also sorted the arguments in the doc alphabetically and added them as bullets so they do not run together on the page.

This commit re-writes the format package in Go and adds the ability to
add partition labels and also specify either ext4, btrfs or xfs
