Dmitry Tantsur 096830414b Add support for inspection using ironic-inspector 
Adds a new module ironic_python_agent.inspector and new entry point
for extensions, which will allow vendor-specific inspection.

Inspection is run on service start up just before the lookup.
Due to this early start, and due to the fact we don't even know
MAC address of nodes on inspection (to say nothing about IP addresses),
exception handling is a bit different from other agent features:
we try hard not to error out until we send at least something to inspector.

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk ==================================

See CoreOS Image builder <https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/tree/master/imagebuild/coreos>

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/dev-quickstart.html#deploying-ironic-with-devstack> section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
