  1. For devices that support HPA/DCO (not NVMe) nwipe displays the HPA status, it toggles every two seconds the size and the temperature i.e "[ 1TB][ 35C]" with the HPA status such as [HPA disabled], [HPA ENABLED!], [HPA unknown]. The HPA ENABLED is highlighted with red text and a white background. HPA_disabled is standard white text on blue background.

More code to follow, a new option to be added, HPA, disable/enable which will disable the HPA and shut down the system. On manually powering back up the HPA should be reported as disabled.

Then lots of testing.
