Satoru Moriya 3e1a3c9f82 Ironic: Support boot from Cinder volume
This enables Ironic to boot bare metal machines from Cinder
volume. Ironic virt driver needs to pass the remote volume
connection information down to Ironic when spawning a new
bare metal instance requested to boot from a Cinder volume.

This implements get_volume_connector method for the Ironic
driver. It will get connector information from the Ironic service
and pass it to Cinder's initialize_connection method for attached
volumes. And then it puts the returned value into Ironic.

This patch changes the required Ironic API version to 1.32 for using
new API for volume resources.
