Dmitry Tantsur 58388212bc Prepare [inspector]require_managed_boot to change to True in the future
Currently, we silently fall back to ironic-inspector managing boot if
the boot interface cannot do it. What ironic-inspector does is set
the boot device to PXE and issue a reboot request. This was done
to keep backward compatibility with how inspection worked before managed
boot was introduced.

With in-band inspection migrating to Ironic proper, this "unmanaged"
mode becomes a more exotic case since it requires additional PXE
infrastructure. Additionally, the popularity of Redfish is rapidly
growing, and we support pre-populating ports when Redfish is used.

As such, the "unmanaged" mode should no longer be allowed by default.
This change prepares for the future flip of the default value by
issuing a deprecation warning if no explicit value is set for the option.

The default value of the ``[inspector]require_managed_boot`` option will
change from ``False`` to ``True`` in the future, causing in-band inspection
to fail if the boot interface cannot prepare the ramdisk boot (e.g. in case
of missing ports). Please set this option to an explicit value to avoid
the behavior change.
