Support the Ironic ansible deploy method
There is an out-of-tree deploy interface using ansible to deploy instead of IPA API [1]. We have plans on moving it in-tree for Queens [2].
This solves an increasing number of requests for higher customization of the deployment process, especially for the undercloud. For example,
1. setting kernel parameters,
2. complex partition layouts,
3. LVM and software RAID support.
We should enable it in the undercloud, and make sure it's possible to use it in the overcloud.
We may consider switching to it in the undercloud by default.
