Richard Pioso 03471be1ed Add first idrac HW type Redfish interface support
This change adds initial idrac hardware type support of interface
implementations that utilize the Redfish out-of-band (OOB) management
protocol and are compatible with the integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) baseboard management controller (BMC), presently
those of the management and power hardware interfaces. They are named
'idrac-redfish'.

It also introduces a new name for the 'idrac' interface implementations,
'idrac-wsman', and deprecates 'idrac'. They both use the Web Services
Management (WS-Man) OOB management protocol.

The idrac hardware type declares support for those new interface
implementations, in addition to all interface implementations it has
been supporting. The priority order of supported interfaces remains the
same. Interface implementations which rely on WS-Man continue to have
the highest priority, and the new 'idrac-wsman' is listed before the
deprecated 'idrac'.

Adds initial ``idrac`` hardware type support of interface
implementations that utilize the Redfish out-of-band (OOB)
management protocol and are compatible with the integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) baseboard management controller
(BMC), presently those of the management and power hardware
interfaces. They are named ``idrac-redfish``.
Introduces a new name for the ``idrac`` interface implementations,
``idrac-wsman``, and deprecates ``idrac``. They both use the Web
Services Management (WS-Man) OOB management protocol.
The ``idrac`` hardware type declares support for those new interface
implementations, in addition to all interface implementations it has
been supporting. The priority order of supported interfaces remains
the same. Interface implementations which rely on WS-Man continue to
have the highest priority, and the new ``idrac-wsman`` is listed
before the deprecated ``idrac``. It now supports the following
interface implementations, which are listed in priority order from
highest to lowest:
* bios: ``no-bios``
* boot: ``ipxe``, ``pxe``
* console: ``no-console``
* deploy: ``iscsi``, ``direct``, ``ansible``, ``ramdisk``
* inspect: ``idrac-wsman``, ``idrac``, ``inspector``, ``no-inspect``
* management: ``idrac-wsman``, ``idrac``, ``idrac-redfish``
* network: ``flat``, ``neutron``, ``noop``
* power: ``idrac-wsman``, ``idrac``, ``idrac-redfish``
* raid: ``idrac-wsman``, ``idrac``, ``no-raid``
* rescue: ``no-rescue``, ``agent``
* storage: ``noop``, ``cinder``, ``external``
* vendor: ``idrac-wsman``, ``idrac``, ``no-vendor``

deprecations:
- |
The ``idrac`` interface implementation name is deprecated in favor
of a new name, ``idrac-wsman``, and may be removed in a future
release. A deprecation warning will be logged for every loaded
``idrac`` interface implementation. Use ``idrac-wsman`` instead.
