Richard Pioso d75fecc974 Add 'hardware type' for Dell EMC iDRACs
The ironic project is engaged in a driver composition reform [0] which
introduces dynamic drivers. That reform places hardware vendors in
charge of defining a new form of drivers for their hardware. The new
form is called 'hardware type'. The reform will deprecate [1] the
existing ironic drivers, which are now referred to as 'classic drivers'.

This change adds a single new 'hardware type', 'idrac', for servers
controlled by Dell EMC integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers
(iDRAC).

Access Controllers (iDRAC). ``idrac`` hardware type supports PXE-based
provisioning using an iDRAC. It supports the following driver interfaces:
* boot: ``pxe``
* console: ``no-console``
* deploy: ``iscsi`` and ``direct``
* inspect: ``idrac``, ``inspector``, and ``no-inspect``
* management: ``idrac``
* network: ``flat``, ``neutron``, and ``noop``
* power: ``idrac``
* raid: ``idrac`` and ``no-raid``
* storage: ``noop`` and ``cinder``
