Disk wiping from GUI

Description

It's desirable to have a screen that helps to "wipe" a disk previously used for other purposes, like in a damaged zpool, etc. This would be similar to a volume wizard, which allows the user to choose method (quick, full disk with 1MB blocksize zeros, full disk with 1MB random blocks, etc.).

++1 and is usefull to have the option to delete the first and last sector to destroy the ZFS information that can make fool ZFS if you reuse the disk (in fact for a new use of disk I suggest to previously delete (wipe) the first & last sector of the disk to avoid problems).
