Changed the install-ironic role to utilize the sample ironic.conf file supplied with ironic for the new installation, which leverages Ansible lineinfile and sed to modify the file to be in the required state. By and large, this change will address the bug the most, since ironic's configuration file is the file we want to track, however other configuration template files need to be reviewed.

ironic-install
This role installs a standalone ironic deployment with all required substrate in order for it to be utilized, including MySQL, RabbitMQ, dnsmasq, nginx.
Requirements
This role requires:
- Ansible 1.9
Internet access was originally a requirement but no longer is. See doc/source/offline-install.rst for details on installing without it.
Role Variables
Testing mode is intended to help facilitate testing of the Bifrost roles and Ironic by utilizing virtual machines on the localhost and the agent_ssh driver. This variable should be set globally for playbooks utilizing the install-ironic role.
testing: false
Node cleaning, which was a feature added to Ironic during the Kilo cycle, removes the previous contents of a node once it has been moved from an active to available state, such as setting the provision state to deleted. Bifrost disables this by default in order to allow initial users to not be impacted by node cleaning operations upfront when they are testing and evaluating bifrost. In the event of a production deployment, cleaning should be enabled.
cleaning: false
The Ironic python client and shade libraries can be installed directly from GIT. The default is to utilize pip to install the current versions in pypi, however testing may require master branch or custom patches.
ironicclient_source_install: false shade_source_install: false
By default this role installs dnsmasq to act as a DHCP server for provisioning hosts. In the event this is not required, set the following configuration:
include_dhcp_server: false
When testing, the default Ironic Conductor driver is "agent_ssh". When testing mode has not been engaged, drivers can be set via the enabled_drivers variable which defaults to: "agent_ipmitool,pxe_amt,agent_ilo,agent_ucs"
In the event of an external DHCP server being used, the user will need to configure their DHCP server such that PXE, and iPXE chain loading occurs. For additional information for setting up DHCP in this scenario refer to the Bifrost documentation file doc/source/deploy/dhcp.rst. Additional default variables exist in defaults/main.yml, however these are mainly limited to settings which are unlikely to be modified, unless a user has a custom Ironic Python Agent image, or needs to modify where the httpboot folder is set to.
Dependencies
None at this time.
