Ilya Etingof 9fab96fc37 Add Redfish Virtual Media Boot support
This patch introduces standard Redfish virtual media boot
support to ironic.

The patch implements basic boot interface features along with
devstack plugin support for virtual media boot. Functionally,
redfish boot interface supports the same set of features as PXE.

Unlike other virtual media boot implementations (e.g. iLo), this
patch does not require user-built deploy/rescue/boot ISO images
for virtual media boot. Instead, ironic will build necessary images
out of common kernel/ramdisk pair (though user needs to provide
ESP image).

Adds virtual media boot interface to ``redfish`` hardware type supporting
virtual media boot. The ``redfish-virtual-media`` boot interface operates
on the same kernel/ramdisk as, for example, PXE boot interface does, however
``redfish-virtual-media`` boot interface can additionally require EFI
system partition image (ESP) when performing UEFI boot. New configuration
option ``bootloader`` or ``[driver_info]/bootloader`` property can be used
to convey ESP location to ironic.
