[RFE] Generic BIOS interface for ironic

[zenghui.shi]

Currently there is no support in ironic to do BIOS configuration. In order to support this, it requires a separate interface on the drivers which would allow operators to specify BIOS configuration for a node. Different drivers may provide the same interface to the operator for BIOS configuration.

This proposal is intended to create a new driver interface for BIOS configuration and a method to make BIOS configuration available as part of manual cleaning.

    Remove unnecessary indents

    The theme of ironic specs was changed just before the BIOS
    configuration spec of was approved. Due to this change, this spec looks
    slightly ugly. This patch removes unnecessary indents to make it
    comfortable to read this spec during code review.
