[RFE] Boot management for Inspector inspection interface

[Dmitry Tantsur]

Ironic Inspector works by managing firewall access to a PXE port. It's done so that we can do inspection for nodes when ports are not known yet. Often enough, however, we do know ports. Also some boot procedures might not require PXE booting at all (e.g. virtual media). Ironic Inspector itself can't handle such cases, but Ironic can. This RFE suggests optional support for configuring DHCP properties and boot options for node on inspection.

Let's have a small spec in ironic for this.

The question: should the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1444321
also be related if it is covered by the spec?
