Added note to local.conf addressing firewall/proxy blocking Git protocol

local.conf file for deploying ironic with devstack uses Git protocol to
enable ironic plugin. Git protocol requires access to port 9418 which
corporate firewalls commonly block.

Added a note to the local.conf file informing users who face this
problem how to modify the local.conf file to use https:// instead of
git:// so ironic plugin will be enabled.
