Fixes #3863 and #2776

Change the final warning message from
Formatting in 1...2...3

to something more generic as it's difficult to determine what each configuration may entail

Starting device modifications in 1...2...3

# Issue a final warning before we continue with something un-revertable.
# We mention the drive one last time, and count from 5 to 0.
out = tr(' ! Formatting {} in ').format(device_paths)
out = tr('Starting device modifications in ')
