fix: retain the previous UUID for newly replaced drives (#10759)

only newly replaced drives get the new `format.json`,
this avoids disks reloading their in-memory reference
format, ensures that drives are online without
reloading the in-memory reference format.

keeping reference format in-tact means UUIDs
never change once they are formatted.
