Do not allow pool creation with vdevs containing disks of mixed sizes

Description

The pool creator wizard still allows creating pools with mixed sizes and types of disks. Mixing types (HDD and SSD) is not a huge problem, but mixing sizes like a single 1.8 TiB drive with a 120 GiB is allowed and produces a stripe with no redundancy. This should not be allowed at all, or only allowed with a "let me do anything, no matter how dangerous" override.
