macOS: validate format wizard device targets

Browse Source 
Keep device selection enumeration unchanged to avoid slow dialog loads.

In the format wizard, inspect only the selected target with diskutil info -plist and reject APFS synthesized devices, macOS system/support targets, read-only targets, and current APFS system stores. Add a read-only APFS hint for creation failures.
