Add options for mounting SCSI or NVMe local SSD though Block or Filesystem and do all of that with UUID
Fixes: #51431
Fixed version of: #53466
Mount SCSI local SSD by UUID in /mnt/disks/by-uuid/, also allows for users to request and mount NVMe disks. Both types of disks will be accessible either through block or file-system.
I have confirmed that it is no longer crashing when nodes are initialized on GKE.
Lack of this flag sometimes causes iptables to return error code 4 (if
other process holds xtables lock). As a result, because of `set -o errexit`,
whole startup script fails, leaving master in an incorrect state.
