Bug Description

When configuring the boot disk with LVM, I need to create a partition on the disk before I can create a Volume Group. However, MAAS allowed me to 'Create Volume Group' without having created a partition. This causes the node to fail to deploy.

MAAS should either:

1. Automatically create the sda-part1 when Create Volume Group on the boot disk.
2. or it should prevent from 'Create Volume Group' (and show a message saying that the user needs to create a partition).

To reproduce:

1. Select 'sda'
2. 'Create Volume Group'
3. Select vg0 & 'Add Logical Volume'
4. Select vg0-lv0 & 'Format'
5. Deploy

This is only when the disk chosen is the bootdisk. And it requires a partition to be created before putting vg0 on it.
