Adds a new purefa_zte module that performs Zero Touch Erasure (ZTE) on a
FlashArray using the /arrays/erasures REST endpoints (post/get/patch/delete).
The module exposes the three documented ZTE phases via a state parameter:
- start - Phase 1, securely wipe drives and generate the sanitization
certificate (post_arrays_erasures)
- status - report process status and return the sanitization certificate
(get_arrays_erasures), non-destructive, the default
- finalize - Phase 3, finalize the reset, optionally reinstalling the image
(patch_arrays_erasures)
- cancel - cancel a failed reset (delete_arrays_erasures)
Destructive phases require an explicit eradicate=true safety acknowledgement,
the module supports check_mode, gates on REST API 2.34, and is registered in
meta/runtime.yml.

SUMMARY
Adds a new
purefa_ztemodule to perform Zero Touch Erasure (ZTE) — a secure, self-service factory reset of a FlashArray to a factory-fresh state (Purity//FA 6.6.8+, REST-API only).The module maps the three documented ZTE phases onto the existing
/arrays/erasuresREST endpoints via astateparameter:start— Phase 1: securely wipe drives and generate the NIST SP800-88R1 sanitization certificate (post_arrays_erasures)status— report process status and return the sanitization certificate (get_arrays_erasures); non-destructive, the defaultfinalize— Phase 3: finalize the reset, optionally reinstalling the image (patch_arrays_erasures+ArrayErasurePatch)cancel— cancel a failed reset (delete_arrays_erasures)Design decisions:
start,finalize) require an expliciteradicate: truesafety acknowledgement; nothing is destructive by default.statusreturnssanitization_certificateso it can be saved before finalize (it is unrecoverable afterwards).skip_phonehome_check,image_source(URL/path) andimage_version; phoning-home arrays useimage_source: auto.check_modesupported; gated at REST API 2.34; registered inmeta/runtime.yml; added to the README module list.ISSUE TYPE
