Bug Description

During the tests submitted by IBM PowerKVM CI for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/536759, the test for fedora failed when it tried to install dmidecode.

dmidecode isn't a valid package for ppc64(le) and the element calling for it (ironic-agent) does have logic which says that lshw should be used for ppc64 and ppc64el - the problem is that the arch name for PPC64 little endian in Fedora is ppc64le instead of ppc64el which is used for Debian based distros.

Fix the ironic-agent so that it installs lshw instead of dmidecode when the arch is ppc64le.

    Don't install dmidecode on Fedora ppc64le

    While Debian-based distros use the label of ppc64el for ppc64 little
    endian, Fedora uses ppc64le.

    The ironic-agent was doing arch specific package install of lshw over
    dmidecode for ppc64 and ppc64el but was attempting to install dmidecode
    on Fedora ppc64le which caused the test to fail due to a missing
    package.

    This change just adds ppc64le to the arch-specific package installation
    description for the ironic-agent element.
