Add Ironic instance shellinabox console support
Summary
=======
Currently Ironic use shellinabox to provide a web serial console, and there's
a BP in nova to add a custom HTTP proxy for that, so this is intended to integrate
the new console type with Horizon.
Motivation
========
Operators need to use console to operate Bare Metal instances like VMs.
Description
=========
Add a new console type option 'shellinabox' for ironic instances, then nova
get_serial_console api will choose to pass 'serial' or 'shellinabox' to fetch the
console url and show in the console tab.
UX
===
None
Outside Dependencies
