[CI] Ironic: use ipmitool retries

Browse Source 
In Ironic jobs with Tenks, we saw issues with IPMI commands
failing, resuling in job failures:

  Error setting Chassis Boot Parameter 5

A metal3.io commit [1] was found that fixes the issue by moving IPMI
retries from ironic to ipmitool, which has a side-effect of increasing
the timeout. This change applies the same configuration.

This change has been adapted from an analogous change in
kayobe-config-dev. [2]

# This IPMI configuration has been taken from the metal3.io ironic-image

# use_ipmitool_retries transfers the responsibility of retrying to ipmitool
# when supported. If set to false, then ipmitool is called as follows :
# $ipmitool -R 1 -N 1 ...
# and Ironic handles the retry loop.

# The following parameters are the defaults in Ironic. They are used in the
# following way if use_ipmitool_retries is set to true:
# $ipmitool -R <X> -N <Y> ...
# where :
# X = command_retry_timeout / min_command_interval
# Y = min_command_interval
# If use_ipmitool_retries is false, then ironic retries X times, with an
# interval of Y in between each tries.
