[RFE] InfiniBand support

[Moshe Levi]

today Ironic doesn't support InfiniBand interface
this RFE adds support of the following:
1. Hardware inspection for InfiniBand - by increasing the address to 60 characters
2. PXE boot over InfiniBand interlace - by adding the GID (port address) as client-id to the neutron port

Nova doesn't do RFE wishlist bugs, this needs at least a specless blueprint for the nova changes. Bring it up in a nova meeting during open discussion and we'll discuss if it needs a spec or not.

    Adding InfiniBand Support

    InfiniBand is computer-networking communications standard
    used in high-performance computing, features very high
    throughput and very low latency. Where ethernet uses MAC
    as unique identifier assigned to network interfaces,
    InfiniBand uses GUID. The difference is
    that MAC is 6 bytes and GID is 8 bytes. Moreover to be
    able to PXE boot on InfiniBand network we should use DHCP
    over InfiniBand https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4390.
    The major changes to allow it is to generate client-id per
    GID and add it as DHCP option to the neutron port.

    This patch update the neutron port with CLient-ID
    DHCP option when ironic port.extra has client-id
    paramater.

    Dispatched out network interface info to all hardware managers

    This patch dispatches out the network_interface_info
    to allow vendor hardware managers to plug the spacific
    implementation. It also move neworking releated methods
    form hardware to netutils

    Add a new Hardware Manager for Mellanox NICs

    This patch add Mellanox Manager to support Mellanox
    InfiniBand NICs.

    It adds client_id to the NetworkInterface for the
    InfiniBand network interface.

    The Mellanox Manager provides it own implementation of
    get_interface_info. The mlnx get_interface_info generate
    InfiniBand MAC and client-id from the InfiniBand network
    interface address.
