API to get required and optional driver_info properties

Registered by Ruby Loo

It is possible to create a node without specifying any driver_info in the initial POST -- this is reasonable and fine. However, the API does not expose what driver_info properties are required for the node's driver. The client cannot know what fields to send in subsequent PATCH requests without reading Ironic's developer docs (or source code!).

This blueprint proposes an API that returns the required and optional driver_info properties, along with a description for each property.
