Prevent pxe retry when agent token exists
A race condition can be observed in CI under heavy load where the conductor triggers are boot of the agent before it is fully online based upon state, but not considering the existence of an agent token. As a result, agent is never able to check in with Ironic and the overall operation fails. We now consider agent token's existence before retrying PXE as it is the very earliest indicator of a starting agent. Change-Id: Ice764866a08647031d16570860ec384204269501 Story: 2010107 Task: 45674
