udisks auto-probing removable optical media (sr*) is noisy -- on a drive with no
or inert media (e.g. a VM CD-ROM) it errors repeatedly ('udisksd: Error probing
device: Error sending ATA command IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE to /dev/sr0') -- and is
avoidable attack surface: inserted media should not be auto-processed without
user action. Add a udev rule marking optical drives UDISKS_IGNORE. This does NOT
affect booting the live ISO from optical media: rd.live mounts the medium in the
initramfs, not via userspace udisks. (AI-Assisted.)
