tests: Fix t1700 failing on a host with a 4k xfs filesystem (#1260664)

The problem is that mkfs.xfs won't work if the file it is trying to
create is on a filesystem with a sector size larger than the passed
-ssize value. So a host with 4k disks (eg. s390) and the xfs filesystem
will fail with the error message:
    illegal sector size 512; hw sector is 4096

Failures setting up the environment for the test aren't parted bugs.
This stops treating mkfs and dd errors as test failures, skipping the fs
and logging a warning.
