Hironori Shiina 60767aee61 Recommend to set boot mode explicitly
A future release will change the default boot mode from legacy BIOS
to UEFI. The default boot mode can be set to
[deploy]/default_boot_mode option for hardware types which support
setting boot mode. Otherwise, the default boot mode is hard-coded as
legacy BIOS.

This patch recommends to set boot mode explicitly in a help message of
[deploy]/default_boot_mode option. A warning message is also logged
when a default hard-coded boot mode is used. This message is logged
once even if there are multiple nodes whose boot modes are configured
explicitly for not emitting too many messages.

A future release will change the default value of
``[deploy]/default_boot_mode`` from "bios" to "uefi". It is recommended to
set an explicit value for this option. For hardware types which don't
support setting boot mode, a future release will assume boot mode is set
to UEFI if no boot mode is set to node's capabilities. It is also
recommended to set ``boot_mode`` into ``properties/capabilities``
of a node.
