Dmitry Tantsur 3e05a03f7c Deprecate LLDP in inventory in favour of a new collector 
Binary LLDP data is bloating inventory causing us to disable its collection
by default. For other similar low-level information, such as PCI devices
or DMI data, we already use inspection collectors instead. Now that the
inventory format is shared with out-of-band inspection, having LLDP
there makes even less sense.

This change adds a new collector ``lldp`` to replace the now-deprecated
inventory field.

Ironic Python Agent

Team and repository tags

Overview

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
