Pavlo Shchelokovskyy ffd006e098 Add Ansible-deploy driver
Requires Ironic API >= 1.22 when using heartbeats to Ironic API.

For better logging and proper deployment failure handling,
Ironic should be > '6.1.1.dev147' version.

Tested with and targets Ansible >= 2.1

Experimental DIB element: I3f6c3baf0197d27f2d423f52611666ca186cd0a4
Experimental TinyCore-based bootstrap:
Ie39ce67dc93e7d53bf75937c7defacafad5fbfcf

Tested with DevStack, Bifrost and Mirantis OpenStack,
with both VMs and real IPMI hardware.
Tempest's baremetal_server_basic_ops test reliably passes on DevStack
with `pxe_ssh_ansible` driver.

More elaborate documentation will be proposed in next changes.

Added Ansible-deploy driver.
Supported features of Agent-based deploy drivers
* Network separation
* Whole disk images
* Partition images with localboot
* Cleaning, both automated and manual with cleaning steps
* Configdrive partition, for both whole disk and partition images.
Main known shortcomings in comparison with IPA-based drivers
* Is not asynchronous
* Clean steps can not be aborted
* Does not support UEFI/secure/trusted boot (support is planned)
* Does not support root_device_hints (support is planned)
* Does not honor partition type capability for partiton images
(always msdos, gpt support is planned)
* Does not support partition images with netboot
