Kaifeng Wang d379357cad Introduce configuration option [ipmi]ipmi_disable_timeout
Some type of BMCs don't support an IPMI option that disable the
behavior of boot device timeout, which makes them never get booted
from PXE.

This patch extends the fix [1] by adding a configuration option,
which provides the default ipmi behavior.

[1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/616053

Additionally revising the variable/setting names based upon review
feedback and discussion that took place during the 20181210 weekly
ironic team meeting.

Tony Breeds eb29465bd5 Add ipmi_disable_timeout to avoid problematic IPMI command
The IPMI driver unconditionally instructed the BMC not automatically
clear boot flag valid bit if Chassis Control command not received within
60-second timeout (countdown restarts when a Chassis Control command is
received).  Some BMCs do not support setting this.  Sending the command
aborts the node boot.

A new driver option ``ipmi_disable_timeout`` is added to bypass
sending this command.
