Bug Description

When defining a RAID device via MaaS, there is no field/argument that allows for passing the metadata argument to curtin (https://curtin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/storage.html#raid-command). This is critical in situations where Intel VROC is used to create a RAID device out of NVMe storage. More specifically, SuperMicro X11 boards with Intel VROC require that the `mdadm` command be passed a `--metadata=imsm` option.

How to recreate
1. Go to the storage tab of any machine in the Maas UI
2. Select 2 or more disks
3. Click Create RAID

The form displayed does not have any provision for passing the `metadata` key to curtin.

MaaS version: 2.9.0 (9137-g.8e920a12b)
