Add "noop" management and use it in the "ipmi" hardware type
The new management interface targets hardware that does not correctly support changing the boot device via IPMI. For example, some hardware was reported to break the configured boot order in this case. Using the "noop" management will allow operators to pre-define the boot order as PXE -> DISK.

+ Adds support for the new ``noop`` interface to the ``ipmi`` hardware type.
+ This interface targets hardware that does not correctly change boot mode
+ via the IPMI protocol. Using it requires pre-configuring the boot order
+ on a node to try PXE, then fall back to local booting.
