OneView driver docs explaining hardware inspection

Browse Source 
Once patch 367065 (Add inspection feature for the OneView drivers)
lands, we need to explain in the OneView drivers docs what hardware
inspection is and how to set up ironic-inspector. This patch change
the OneView driver docs explaining what changes with the addition
of hardware inspection capacity.

Hardware inspection
===================
OneView drivers for ironic have the ability to do hardware inspection.
Hardware inspection is the process of discovering hardware properties like
memory size, CPU cores, processor architecture and disk size, of a given
hardware. OneView drivers do in-band inspection, that involves booting a
ramdisk on the hardware and fetching information directly from it. For that,
your cloud controller needs to have the ``ironic-inspector`` component
[10]_ running and properly enabled in ironic's configuration file.
See [11]_ for more information on how to install and configure
``ironic-inspector``.
Registering a OneView node in ironic
