Support soft reboot and poweroff in nova ironic driver.

Registered by Tang Chen

This BP proposes to enhance 2 power interfaces in nova ironic driver.
1. Support server soft reboot
2. Support server soft poweroff

In nova/virt/ironic/driver.py:
1. reboot() ignores reboot_type because ironic does not support soft reboot.

    def reboot(self, context, instance, network_info, reboot_type,
               block_device_info=None, bad_volumes_callback=None):
        """Reboot the specified instance.
        ......
        :param reboot_type: Either a HARD or SOFT reboot. Ignored by
            this driver.

2. power_off() does not support soft power off.

    def power_off(self, instance, timeout=0, retry_interval=0):
        """Power off the specified instance.

        NOTE: Ironic does not support soft-off, so this method ignores
              timeout and retry_interval parameters.

According to blueprint enhance-power-interface-for-soft-reboot-and-nmi,
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ironic/+spec/enhance-power-interface-for-soft-reboot-and-nmi)
ironic will soon support reboot/poweroff a server softly. So we need to
improve nova ironic driver to be able to use these functionalities.

Waiting for the Ironic blueprint to be approved before approving this. Also, I'd expect to see testing enabled in the Ironic CI job to show this working before we merge the changes in Nova. -- mriedem 20160602

This is approved for Ocata as a specless feature parity blueprint but is blocked on the changes getting implemented on the Ironic side. -- mriedem 20161110

    ironic: Add soft power off support to ironic driver.

Just a status update but I've marked this as blocked as the Nova change is dependent on the python-ironicclient change which is (or should be) dependent on the Ironic REST API change. And the Nova change is going to require a release of the python-ironicclient change and a bump to global-requirements for the minimum required version of python-ironicclient that Nova can use. -- mriedem 20161227
