    Stop ipmitool.validate from touching the BMC

    Stop the IPMITool driver from calling 'mc guid' in validate().

    Validate is currently called synchronously when API requests are sent to
      GET /v1/node/NNN/validate

    While work is ongoing to make the API more asynchronous, this presents
    a particular issue in that a user can spam this URL and overwhelm the
    hardware node's BMC.

    Furthermore, validate() is called internally in several places, which is
    further contributing to BMC instability as reported in the related
    bug 1320513.
