Julia Kreger 5795c57985 Add an external storage interface
This would primarily be very useful for users of an
external SAN image based management solution[0] where
the interaction with the storage system has been
abstracted from the user but iSCSI targets are still
used.

Adds ``external`` storage interface which is short for
"externally managed". This adds logic to allow the Bare
Metal service to identify when a BFV scenario is being
requested based upon the configuration set for
``volume targets``.
The user must create the entry, and no syncronizaiton
with a Block Storage service will occur.
`Documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/boot-from-volume.html#use-without-cinder>`_
has been updated to reflect how to use this interface.
