Enumerate retired specs

We've been keeping a backlog of specs which are entirely outdated
and will never be implemented. And we should also indicate when
a specification document is no longer applicable at all. As such
this change adds a retired folder, enumeration, and moves four
documents to the retired folder to indcate they are no longer
applicable to Ironic so end users have appropriate context should
they discover the documents in the future.

These specifications are ideas and features which are no longer applicable.
They were either not implemented, no longer exist, and have generally been
superceeded either through the evolution of the project's capabilities or
the state in the marketplace. Each document listed below has been updated
to indicate the context as to why it was moved to this list.

auto-create ports for Cisco UCS B/C/M-servers managed by Cisco UCS Manager.
It uses out-of-band H/W inspection utility provided by UcsSdk.
.. NOTE::
This specification has been retired as the vendor specific UCS driers are
no longer available in Ironic. This was a result of the Open Source
UcsSdk library no longer being maintained.

This specification has been retired as the vendor specific UCS driers are
no longer available in Ironic. This was a result of the Open Source

of the ``redfish`` driver, but it is unknown to the community if the UCS
Redfish support has been extended to RAID support.

This proposal covers the addition of power and management interfaces for
OpenBMC and the addition of driver to the IPA and PXE driver classes.
.. NOTE::
This specification is no longer viewed as applicable as OpenBMC has support
for the Redfish API interface, and as such this is considered a superior
standards based interface for use. When this specificaiton was proposed,
These the Redfish API had not yet been implemented in OpenBMC.
