wwt phantom

Add NUM phantom discs with entered SIZE (default unit 'g') with a generic ID6 ('PHT###' where '###' is the smallest not already used integer). If NUM and/or SIZE are ranges use random values from this range. Phantom discs have no content and only a header is written. This makes adding discs very fast and this is good for testing. The creation process stops if the WBFS becomes full. In this case, the last added image may be shorter as planned.
