Dmitry Tantsur f0a1778766 Finally remove support for netboot and the boot_option capability
Instance network boot (not to be confused with ramdisk, iSCSI or
anaconda deploy methods) is insecure, underused and difficult to
maintain. This change removes a lot of related code from Ironic.

The so called "netboot fallback" is still supported for legacy boot when
boot device management is not available or is unreliable.

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.

Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
