[2.x+] Setting a 'boot' flag on a disk on a EFI system causes a GPT header/partition to be created even if '/boot/ef'i is on a different disk.

Bug Description
I have a machine with two available disks of the same size, without any partitions or partition table (sda and sdb):
http://
I then create a raid-1 set of the two disks, telling maas to use the entire disks. However, maas creates a partition on one of the disks, and uses all of the other disk:
http://
The expected behavior is that all of both disks are used for the raid set. In a 2 disk raid 1 setup, either disk could be lost, so there shouldn't be anything special about either disk.
Apparently this is because it wants to install grub on one of the disks. This system uses UEFI to boot - it doesn't need grub installed that way; there will be a /boot/efi partition on another disk.
This is with maas 2.3.3.
Why was this marked as a duplicate? I don't want grub installed on either disk.
