Ilya Etingof 8a64d03dc0 Reuse Redfish sessions
Fixes redfish hardware type to cache and reuse `Sushy` objects
when talking to BMC. Prior to this fix redfish hardware type
never reused authenticated HTTP sessions (tokens) e.g. effectively
created new HTTP session on every BMC call. That may have led
sometimes to session pool exhaustion with some BMC implementations.

To properly terminate authenticated session, sushy has to make
an explicit DELETE call against BMC Redfish Session API. As of this
commit, sushy does not do that so that ironic could still exhaust
BMC sessions. However, the likelihood of running out of BMC sessions
seems to be lower with this fix considering lesser frequency of
new sessions creation.

The proper fix would be to make sushy terminating authenticated
session with BMC on `Sushy` object deallocation.

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.

Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
