Support the Ironic direct deploy method

Registered by Dmitry Tantsur

The direct deploy method does not use iSCSI to provision an image. Instead, ironic-python-agent downloads it from Swift (which is expected to back Glance). As we already use Swift as Glance backend, it only requires configuring temporary URLs for Ironic [1], and adding "direct" to enabled_deploy_interfaces in ironic.conf.
