Adds support to deploy to nodes with different CPU architectures
from a single conductor. This depends on
two new configuration options, ``[pxe]/pxe_config_template_by_arch``
and ``[pxe]/pxe_bootfile_name_by_arch``. Each is a
dictionary mapping CPU architecture to PXE config template or
PXE boot file name, respectively.
As an example, the syntax might look like::
pxe_config_template_by_arch=aarch64:pxe_grubaa64_config.template,ppc64:pxe_ppc64_config.template
Ironic attempts to map the CPU architecture in this mapping to
the ``properties/cpu_arch`` field for a node. If the node's CPU
architecture is not found in the mapping, ironic will fall back to
the standard options ``pxe_config_template``,
``pxe_bootfile_name``, ``uefi_pxe_config_template``,
and ``uefi_pxe_bootfile_name``.
