Add a paragraph about image validation to Install Guide

Browse Source 
When Nova is used with Ironic, Nova passes image information when a
new instance is requested. Because most of deploy drivers require the
image information, a node fails validation when it is enrolled. This
patch add a paragraph to Install guide so that an operator can ignore
this failure.

When using the Compute Service with the Bare Metal service, it is safe to
ignore the deploy interface's validation error due to lack of image
information. You may continue the enrollment process. This information will
be set by the Compute Service just before deploying, when an instance is
requested::
