Make media ready for writing from scratch (if not -dummy is activated).

This affects only the -outdev not the -indev.
If both drives are the same and if the ISO image was altered
then this command leads to a FAILURE event.
Defined modes are:
fast, all, deformat, deformat_quickest

"as_needed" cares for used CD-RW, DVD-RW and for used overwriteable media
by applying -blank "fast". It applies -format "full" to yet unformatted
DVD-RAM or BD-RE.
.br
"fast" and "all" make CD-RW and unformatted DVD-RW re-usable,
or invalidate overwriteable ISO images.
.br
"deformat" converts overwriteable DVD-RW into unformatted ones.

"deformat_quickest" is a faster way to deformat or blank DVD-RW
but produces media which are only suitable for a single session.
xorriso will write onto them only if option -close is set to "on".

On the other hand unreliable DVD+RW can sometimes be repaired by
re-formatting.

The progress reports issued by some drives while formatting are
