Adds get_clean_steps and execute_clean_steps for the agent. Also implements prepare and tear_down for cleaning to ensure the agent is booted during cleaning. These bits should be factored out to the boot interface when that merges in L. Adds checks for cleaning steps in the heartbeat handler. Adds parameters to the dhcp functions to pass in VIFs instead of relying on the cached ones in the Ironic port objects. As cleaning can start before Nova can unplug those ports, we should ignore the cached VIFs and use the ones we create. Changes _do_next_clean_step to acquire a lock on its own so cleaning from do_node_tear_down and continue_cleaning both work.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
