Julia Kreger c2ba869040 Redfish: Consider password part of the session cache
Previously, when a password change occured in ironic,
the session would not be invalidated, and this, in theory,
could lead to all sorts of issues with the old password
still being re-used for authentication.

In a large environment where credentials for BMCs may not
be centralized, this can quickly lead to repeated account
lockout experiences for the BMC service account.

Anyhow, now we consider it in tracking the sessions, so
when the saved password is changed, a new session is
established, and the old session is eventually expired out
of the cache.

Fixes an issue where the Redfish session cache would continue using an
old session when a password for a Redfish BMC was changed. Now the old
session will not be found in this case, and a new session will be created
with the latest credential information available.
