Julia Kreger f62758cda5 Remove the ironic command
The ironic command is dead, long live the OSC baremetal command.

Also removed the json_respose tests, which seemed ot be geared
to checking json returned data on the command line. For ironic
these tests seemed to be very explicit for our CLI where as OSC
should be covering the return data handling, the only real end
effect is field level expectation enforcement in the functional
test... which seems excessive and un-needed.

Overview
--------
This is a client for the OpenStack `Bare Metal API
<https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/baremetal/>`_. It provides:
* a Python API: the ``ironicclient`` module, and
* a command-line interfaces: ``openstack baremetal``
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the
`developer guide <https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html>`_.
The master repository is on `opendev.org
<https://opendev.org/openstack/python-ironicclient/>`_.
``python-ironicclient`` is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0,

Python API
----------
Quick-start Example::
>>> from ironicclient import client
>>>
>>> kwargs = {'os_auth_token': '3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155',
>>> 'ironic_url': 'http://ironic.example.org:6385/'}
>>> ironic = client.get_client(1, **kwargs)
``openstack baremetal`` CLI
---------------------------
The ``openstack baremetal`` command line interface is available when the bare
metal plugin (included in this package) is used with the `OpenStackClient
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/>`_.
There are two ways to install the OpenStackClient (python-openstackclient)
package:
* along with this python-ironicclient package::
# pip install python-ironicclient[cli]
* directly::
# pip install python-openstackclient
An example of creating a basic node with the ``ipmi`` driver::
$ openstack baremetal node create --driver ipmi
An example of creating a port on a node::
$ openstack baremetal port create --node <UUID> AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
An example of updating driver properties for a node::
$ openstack baremetal node set --driver-info ipmi_address=<IPaddress> <UUID or name>
For more information about the ``openstack baremetal`` command and
the subcommands available, run::
$ openstack help baremetal
