Julia Kreger 68ba345520 Make it possible to send sensor data for all nodes
Presently the data collection defaults to only permit
sensor data to be collected and transmitted as notifications
for instances deployed via nova, however standalone operators
or general data center operators may find the sensor data
useful to identify undeployed failing hardware and overall
check the hardware health.

Adds a boolean to control the filter being set for a deployed
node.

features:
- |
Adds a ``[conductor]send_sensor_data_for_undeployed_nodes`` option to
enable ironic to collect and transmit sensor data for all nodes
for which sensor data collection is available. By default, this option
is not enabled which aligns with the prior behavior of sensor data
collection and transmission where such data was only collected
if an ``instance_uuid`` was present to signify that the node has been or
is being deployed. With this change set to ``True``, operators may be able
to identify hardware in a faulty state through the sensor data and take
action before an instance workload is deployed.
fixes:
- |
Fixes an issue where nodes in the process of deployment may have metrics
data collected and transmitted during the deployment process which
may erroneously generate alarms depending on the operator's monitoring
configuration. This was due to a database filter relying upon the
indicator of an ``instance_uuid`` as opposed to the state of a node.
