Create: warn when a metadata format's platform components are missing
If the metadata handler can not find its platform support components then there is no way for it to verify that the raid configuration will be supported by the option-rom. Provide a generic method for metadata handlers to warn the user that the array they are about to create may not work as intended with a given platform.
