Adds a new poll extension to provide get_hardware_info and get_node_info interfaces. get_hardware_info will be used for node validation by ironic deploy drivers. get_node_info will be used for sending lookup data to IPA. standalone mode is assumed as debug only, but it's not the case considering the poll mode will be introduced, slightly updates the description, also prevents the mdns lookup when standalone is true.

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

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