For Ironic multi-tenant networking support, we need to be able to discover the nodes local connectivity. To do this IPA can try to pull LLDP packets for every NIC. This patch adds a processing hook to handle the data from these packets in ironic-inspector so that we can populate the correct fields fields in Ironic. The generic lldp hook only handles the mandatory fields port id and chassis id, set on port_id and switch_id in local_link_connection. Further LLDP fields should be handled by additional vendor specific LLDP processing hooks, that populate the switch_info field in a non-generic way.

Hardware introspection for OpenStack Bare Metal
This is an auxiliary service for discovering hardware properties for a node managed by Ironic. Hardware introspection or hardware properties discovery is a process of getting hardware parameters required for scheduling from a bare metal node, given it's power management credentials (e.g. IPMI address, user name and password).
