[k3b] [Bug 456063] BD-R was actually written on although 'simulation' was ticked

On an additional note, always perform test burns on write-once discs using data
you would have burned anyway.
Writing junk data on write-once discs for testing is wasteful.

I did it once using Nero DiscSpeed's testing feature to see if Nero's warning
is just a bluff, because I could not imagine something as "simulated writing"
not to work. But it wrote actual data. What I found out is that it writes the
drive model at the end on DVD plus discs in a way only DiscSpeed itself
recognizes it. Because only DVD-R and -RW (not sure about -RAM) store the
"recorder information" (drive model) in a dedicated section.

As far as I know, a "simulation" feature is only a part of the standard on
CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and HD-DVD. It seems not to be included DVD+R,
DVD+RW, and Blu-ray discs. However, according to
https://helpmanual.io:443/man1/cdvdcontrol/ ,  Plextor drives do support DVD+R
writing simulation. One can assume this applies to DVD+RW as well.

Nero has a warning that DVD+R writes might not be simulated.
