Jay Faulkner 36e5993a04 [codespell] Fix spelling issues in IPA
This fixes several spelling issues identified by codepsell. In some
cases, I may have manually modified a line to make the output more clear
or to correct grammatical issues which were obvious in the codespell
output.

Later changes in this chain will provide the codespell config used to
generate this, as well as adding this commit's SHA, once landed, to a
.git-blame-ignore-revs file to ensure it will not pollute git historys
for modern clients.

Adds an additional check if the ``smartctl`` utility is present from the
``smartmontools`` package, which performs an ATA disk specific check that
should prevent ATA Secure Erase from being performed if a pass-through
device is detected that requires a non-ATA command signling sequence.
Devices such as these can be `smart` disk interfaces such as
RAID controllers and USB disk adapters, which can cause failures
when attempting to Secure Erase, which may render the disk unreachable.
