Adds an ``ilo-ipxe`` boot interface to ``ilo`` hardware type which
allows for instance level iPXE enablement as opposed to
conductor-wide enablement of iPXE.
To perform iPXE boot with ``ilo-ipxe`` boot interface:
* Add ``ilo-ipxe`` to ``enabled_boot_interfaces`` in ``ironic.conf``
* Set up TFTP & HTTP server using `Ironic document on iPXE boot
configuration
<https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/install/configure-pxe.html>`_
* Create/Set baremetal node with ``--boot-interface ilo-ipxe``

From Stein release, ``[pxe]ipxe_enabled`` option has been deprecated.
The ``ilo`` hardware type supports iPXE boot through
``[pxe]ipxe_enabled`` option. To cope with this incompatibility,
``ilo`` hardware type has added new ``ilo-ipxe`` boot interface.
