Bug Description

An unwitting user may apply the KOLLA_CEPH_OSD_BOOTSTRAP label to a
partition assuming it will only use that partition for Ceph, and end up
wiping out their disk.

As a deployment tool we should be extra careful about this kind of thing.

Does this also impact Journal and Cache?

Add a check before wiping Ceph disks in bootstrap

    An unwitting user may apply the KOLLA_CEPH_OSD[_CACHE]_BOOTSTRAP label
    to a partition assuming it will only use that partition for Ceph, and
    end up wiping out their disk.

This change adds a layer of checking to this scenario to try and help
avoid a disaster scenario.
