Document new properties used by Ironic
* rootfs_uuid (introduced a while ago) specifies which partition of a whole-disk image is a root. * img_type specifies whether the image is a whole-disk or a partition image. Currently Ironic uses kernel_id/ramdisk_id to decide that, but this logic only makes sense when booting instances from network. img_type will be introduced by https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/825305 Change-Id: Idd0d38fc312d08a99b5f5b2072cc991bc4575719
