Kaifeng Wang d379357cad Introduce configuration option [ipmi]ipmi_disable_timeout
Some type of BMCs don't support an IPMI option that disable the
behavior of boot device timeout, which makes them never get booted
from PXE.

This patch extends the fix [1] by adding a configuration option,
which provides the default ipmi behavior.

Additionally revising the variable/setting names based upon review
feedback and discussion that took place during the 20181210 weekly
ironic team meeting.

The IPMI hardware type unconditionally instructed the BMC to not
automatically clear boot flag valid bit if Chassis Control command not
received within 60-second timeout (countdown restarts when a Chassis
Control command is received). Some BMCs do not support setting this; if
sent it causes the boot to be aborted instead. For IPMI hardware type a
new driver option ``node['driver_info']['ipmi_disable_boot_timeout']`` can
be specified. It is ``True`` by default; set it to ``False`` to bypass
sending this command. See `story 2004266
<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004266>`_ for additional
information.
