Bug description:
[Impact]
* This bug is a runtime exception caused by invalid erase type.
* With this bug users can not erase disks with usb-creator.
[Test Case]
* Prepare an usbstick with any partition(s),
this could be done with "gparted".
* Launch usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde.
* Insert the usbstick, click the button "Erase Disk".
* It will popup an exception window with the error message similar to:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "format.py", line 7, in <module>
block.call_format_sync('dos', GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {'erase':
GLib.Variant('s', '')}), None)
gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed:
Error erasing device: Unknown or unsupported erase type `'
* Please be noted, the erase operation may still fail even with
this bug properly fixed due to some other bugs, such as bug #1318954.
[Regression Potential]
* Since the erasing operation is also blocked by other bugs,
we may not be able to verify the entire erasing operation,
in such a case we can not promise the effect of the patch,
and it may (although not sure to) has other side effect such as:

org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block.html#gdbus-method-org-freedesktop-
UDisks2-Block.Format
A dialog with the following text appears anytime I try to wipe my usb
pen (both when partitioned and unpartitioned):
