    Let ipmitool natively retry commands

    Instead of calling ipmitool multiple times on failure via
      utils.execute(*args, attempts=3)
    allow ipmitool to use its own native retry behavior with -N.. -R..
    if those options are supported by the installed version of ipmitool.
    This will fall back to a single run of ipmitool on older versions,
    which should be fine -- it defaults to retry several times anyway.

    This patch adds a configurable min time between retries, which is used,
    in conjunction with the ipmi retry time, to determine these option's
    values. It will be further leveraged in a subsequent patch as well.

    It also adds a note in the deployer docs about known issues with
    the openipmi project.
