[Vladyslav Drok]

Implement Nova rescue/unrescue in Ironic. Also implement an extension in IPA that carries out rescue-related tasks. After rescuing a node, it will be running a rescue ramdisk, configured with the rescue_password, and listening with ssh on the specified network interfaces.

    Update 'Nova rescue/unrescue in Ironic'

    This updates spec for rescue interface support to:
    1. add a new method clean_up() in RescueInterface class. This
       method would perform any necessary clean up of the node upon
       RESCUEWAIT timeout/failure or finishing rescue operation.
    2. mention that rescue interface is supported only with the
       hardware types. For classic drivers rescue interface would be
       set to 'no-rescue'.
    3. mention that this interface would be supported only with
       OSC CLI.

    Adds rescue_interface to base driver class

    This commit adds `rescue` interface to `BaseDriver` and implements
    it for `fake-hardware` hardware type. It adds configuration
    parameters '[DEFAULT]/enabled_rescue_interfaces' and
    '[DEFAULT]/default_rescue_interface'. The default value of
    configuration parameter '[DEFAULT]/enabled_rescue_interfaces' is
    `no-rescue`.

    It adds new rescue states and a new 'rescue' field to the Node
    object. It adds objects.node.Node._convert_to_version().
    The method handles converting the new rescue_interface field
    between different versions of the Node.

    Add rescue related methods to network interface

    Adds methods `add_rescuing_network` and `remove_rescuing_network`
    to add/remove rescuing network to `network` interface.
    These methods are not added to `flat` network interface.
    The 'flat' network uses same network for tenant and provisioning.
    It makes sense to use the same for rescuing as well; as opposed
    to a separate network like we have for cleaning.

Change abandoned by "Julia Kreger <email address hidden>" on branch: master
Review: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic-specs/+/250648
Reason: Abandoning due to inactivity. In essence, this proposes virtual media based rescue, however rescue over virutal media should already be a thing, boot interface and driver permitting. The iRMC driver does have some virtual media support, so in theory it *should* just work, but as a community

[Julia Kreger (juliaashleykreger)]

Rescue has been implemented for a very very long time.
