[RFE] In-band discover ironic nodes

[Anton Arefiev]

A large network might consist of hundreds of servers. Keeping track of these servers can be a time-consuming process. To simplify the addition of new servers could be done with auto-discovery. Auto-discovery is a process through which the Ironic identifies a resource automatically so it's possible to manage it.

For now, Ironic is unable to automatically detect nodes. Operators have to create nodes manually and provide driver info for them.

    Extend conditions and actions

    Conditions: ``field`` supports new format, it allow to comparison
    data both from inspection and node info:

         {'field': 'node://ironic/style/path', 'op': 'eq', 'value': 'val'}
         {'field': 'data://introspection/path', 'op': 'eq', 'value': 'val'}

    Actions: ``value`` supports fetching data from introspection, it's
    using python string formatting notation:

         {'action': 'set-attribute', 'path': '/driver_info/ipmi_address',
          'value': '{data[inventory][bmc_address]}'}
