Adding a new ini file option to ignore parity errors in initiator mode. Very old SCSI 1 drives, such as those using SCSI to Winchester adapters, might not support parity at all. This causes an incredibly slow data backup because a warning is written to the log for every block of data transferred.

This is how the INI file should be structured to disable initiator mode parity checking:

[SCSI]
InitiatorMode=1
InitiatorParity=0
