Bug Description

Currently , the default implementation of erase_devices uses 'shred' utility. But there is no option to configure number of passes to be run for a particular instance and defaults to 1.

There should be an option for the operator to configure the passes for erase_devices .

Solution is to add a config parameter under
[agent]
agent_erase_devices_number_of_iterations=1

and pass the information to IPA
