Assemble: allow a RAID4 to assemble easily when parity devices is missing.

If the parity device of a RAID4 is missing, then there is no immediate
risk to data.  So it doesn't matter if the array is dirty or not.

This can be important when reshaping a RAID0, and is a much better
solution that that in the resent-reverted.
