raid5 arrays must NOT be create --dangerous-no-resync

The anaconda code in fsset.py creates all raid5 arrays with the '--dangerous-no-resync' flag. That flag is labeled like that for a reason. If you initialize a RAID5 array, you MUST initialize parity on the array. If you don't then when a drive fails out, you will encounter corruption as the data rebuilt from parity won't match that of the disk that failed out. The only exception to this is if the drive has been zeroed out beforehand, but anaconda's not doing that either (and shouldn't, I don't think).

It's imperative that this flag be removed from raid5 array creation.
