[core] only allow removable drives to be listed

Browse source 
* Our detection code, which is based on the HPUSBFW utility, allows fixed
  drives such as USB HDDs to be listed
* Since Rufus lacks extra precautions for fixed disks, this may result in
  people mistakenly formatting and HDD instead of a flash drive
* Until we have added HDD specific features (support for repartitioning or
  existing partitions, >32GB FAT32, etc.) we prefer playing it safe by
  not listing fixed disks.
* We will re-enable fixed disks when we feel enough safeties are in place
* Also fix an issue where ISO selection could crash if Rufus
  was compiled for Vista and later and update version to rufus-next
