Julia Kreger ae2b5f5f1f redfish: change default virtual media storage to local storage
This may be the most overridden default of Ironic, which means
we need to change the default value.

The default for ``[redfish]use_swift`` was historically ``true``,
however we've generally found that BMCs are particularlly sensitive
to extra characters in the URL as the characters may signify a
dynamically generated file, which would be problematic as virtual
media webservers also generally require range retrieval support.

This change makes the default ``false`` which should lead to one
less override for operators being necessary in practical operation.

The default value for ``[redfish]use_swift`` has been changed to
``false``. This is to limit URL validation challenges presented by some
baseboard management controllers where characters in the Swift temporary
URL form are rejected by Baseboard Management Controllers.
