Aija Jauntēva 796e2302c3 Add Redfish BIOS interface to idrac HW type
This change adds idrac hardware type support of a BIOS interface
implementation that utilizes the Redfish out-of-band (OOB) management
protocol and is compatible with the integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) baseboard management controller (BMC). It is named
'idrac-redfish'.

The idrac hardware type declares support for that new interface
implementation, in addition to all BIOS interface implementations it has
been supporting. The highest priority BIOS interface remains the same,
the one which relies on the Web Services Management (WS-Man) OOB
management protocol. The new 'idrac-redfish' immediately follows it.

Adds support for managing BIOS settings via the Redfish out-of-band
(OOB) management protocol to the ``idrac`` hardware type. The new
hardware BIOS interface implementation which offers it is named
``idrac-redfish``.
The ``idrac`` hardware type declares support for that new interface
implementation, in addition to all BIOS interface implementations it
has been supporting. The highest priority BIOS interface remains the
same, the one which relies on the Web Services Management (WS-Man)
OOB management protocol. The new ``idrac-redfish`` immediately
follows it. It now supports the following BIOS interface
implementations, listed in priority order from highest to lowest:
``idrac-wsman``, ``idrac-redfish``, and ``no-bios``.
