Bug Description

Brief Description
-----------------
The Hardware Monitor does not recognize sensor health property of 'NonRecoverable' because it is not specified in the Redfish Specification.

    https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0268_2020.4.pdf

However, there are some servers used by StartlingX customers/developers that publish this status and when they do, the hardware Monitor reports that sensor as offline ; i.e. because thyat status is not recognized.

Please consider adding 'NonRecoverable' as a support Redfish sensor health property for the non recoverable threshold crossing severity level.

Note that non-recoverable status is part of the IPMI specification and handled correctly by the Hardware Monitor's handling of sensor monitoring using IPMI.

Severity
--------
Minor: Redfish non-recoverable sensor assertion is ignored.
       No in-service impact other than the effect ignoring a non-recoverable sensor condition.

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
provision BMC type as Redfish against a server that has a hardware Monitored sensor that reports NonRecoverable status.

Expected Behavior
------------------
NonRecoverable sensor status should be alarmed regardless of provisioned BMC protocol of IPMI or Redfish.

Actual Behavior
----------------
Sensor is set to offline and the customer is not alarmed to the condition.

Reproducibility
---------------
100% reproducible

System Configuration
--------------------
BMC provisioned with RedFish or Dynamic that has the potential to select Redfish as BMC protocol.

Branch/Pull Time/Commit
-----------------------
All

Last Pass
---------
Not Applicable ; no expectation to test against non-standard behavior.

    Add /pxeboot/grubx64.efi symlink for UEFI pxeboot

    UEFI pxeboot with shim.efi looks for the grubx64.efi in the tftpboot
    root directory. This update creates a symlink to the
    /pxeboot/EFI/grubx64.efi file in /pxeboot.

    Fix enabling heartbeat of self from the peer controller

    This issue only occurs over an hbsAgent process restart
    where the ready event response does not include the
    heartbeat start of the peer controller.

    This update reverts a small code change that was
    introduced by the following update.

    https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/metal/+/788495

    Remove the my_hostname gate introduced at line 1267 of
    mtcCtrlMsg.cpp because it prevents enabling heartbeat
    of self by the peer controller.

    Improved maintenance handling of spontaneous active controller reboot

    Performing a forced reboot of the active controller sometimes
    results in a second reboot of that controller. The cause of the
    second reboot was due to its reported uptime in the first mtcAlive
    message, following the reboot, as greater than 10 minutes.

    Maintenance has a long standing graceful recovery threshold of
    10 minutes. Meaning that if a host looses heartbeat and enters
    Graceful Recovery, if the uptime value extracted from the first
    mtcAlive message following the recovery of that host exceeds 10
    minutes, then maintenance interprets that the host did not reboot.
    If a host goes absent for longer than this threshold then for
    reasons not limited to security, maintenance declares the host
    as 'failed' and force re-enables it through a reboot.

    With the introduction of containers and addition of new features
    over the last few releases, boot times on some servers are
    approaching the 10 minute threshold an...
