Ironic inspector fails on startup with AttributeError: StrictVersion instance has no attribute 'version'

[Mark Goddard]

Seen in CI. Raised a bug in python-ironicclient [1], but need a workaround here.

    Workaround ironic inspector startup issue

    If ironic inspector starts up before ironic-api is accessible, we see
    the following error:

    AttributeError: StrictVersion instance has no attribute 'version'

    This actually prevents startup of ironic inspector.

    Example: http://paste.openstack.org/show/756342/

    The underlying issue is in python-ironicclient:
    https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006393.

    The workaround employed here is to wait for ironic-api to become
    available before starting ironic-inspector.
