Update architecture docs to mention new driver interfaces 

This patch updates the architecture documentation to include
mentions of the new Boot and RAID driver interfaces.

It also adds the Inspect interface, which we apparently forgot in the
past.

Ironic's API. If a driver implements this interface, it must adhere to the
standard. This is presented to encourage vendors to work together with the
Ironic project and implement common features in a consistent way, thus
reducing the burden on consumers of the API.
The Standard interfaces are `management` and `console`.

`management`, `console`, `boot`, `inspect`, and `raid`.
- The `Vendor` interface allows an exemption to the API contract when a vendor
wishes to expose unique functionality provided by their hardware and is
unable to do so within the `core` or `standard` interfaces. In this case, Ironic
will merely relay the message from the API service to the appropriate driver.
