Julia Kreger 41355d5a28 IPMI: Handle vendor set boot device differences
Supermicro machines, when in UEFI mode, have a different
device number, in binary, to represent the hard disk from
other vendors such as Fujitsu which actually has somewhat
similar code in their driver.

This means we need to be somewhat cognizent of the vendor of
the BMC and possibly update the device mapping based upon that
vendor.

This may ultimately fix a number of IPMI related problems, because
there is a reliance upon the text output of ipmitool, which only
reads the bytes retured by the BMC, which may not be reality after
the next reset, espescialy if ipmitool doesn't know of the UEFI
operating difference.

NOTE: This had to be a direct cherry-pick from the original change
as the intermediate branch that we normally would have cherry-picked
from has had other changes made to it, which resulted in an unclean
backport, where as with the original change it was clean. This was
then backported from stable/ussuri to stable/train, where
test_ipmitool.py conflicted slightly due to later eventlet changes.
