Eric MacDonald 1011fd8a1a Add network boot support to mtce reinstall handling
The current maintenance 'reinstall' handling requires
a host to be booted and online in order to perform
a reinstall by asking the mtcClient to wipe the
disks and self reboot thereby forcing a network boot
and reinstall.

This re-install process is problematic for hosts that
don't install properly and never come online or on new
system installs where the existing boot image on disk
is still valid ; local disk as the first boot device.

Getting around these issues prior to this update
requires manual BIOS intervention to force-select
a network boot.

This update continues to support the online-wipedisk
method for hosts that are not BMC provisioned and
adds offline reinstall support through IPMI commands
for hosts that are BMC provisioned.

For hosts that have the BMC provisioned, the re-install
handler will wait up to 10 minutes for maintenance to
to establish connectivity to the BMC if it has not already.

Then it will issue a devboot pxe IPMI command to tell the
BMC to boot from the network on the 'next' reset and then
maintenance proceeds to reset that host by a second IPMI
command. This way the host will boot from the network and
perform a local install even if the current image on disk
is valid. No manual BIOS actions required.

This update requires a small system inventory update to
relax the online requirement for BMC provisioned hosts so
that the reinstall to proceed. That update depends on this.

This update also does some minor cleanup in the unused
mtcAgent test head to fix a static analysis error.

Test Plan:
With BMC Test Cases: Success
----------------------------
PASS: Verify install requiring power on with valid image on disk ; pass case
PASS: Verify install while powered on but offline with invalid image on disk ; pass case
PASS: Verify install while powered on but offline with valid image on disk ; pass case
PASS: Verify install with UEFI boot
PASS: Verify BMC Reinstall on Dell (720)
PASS: Verify BMC Reinstall on WC
PASS: Verify BMC Reinstall on HP (hp380)
PEND: Verify BMC Reinstall on SM
PEND: Verify BMC Reinstall on WP
COND: Verify install Secure boot - 430 1-2 fails

With BMC Test Cases: Failure
---------------------------
PASS: Verify reinstall handling during install during online wait ; restarts the install
PASS: Verify reinstall handling during install before online wait ; no install interruption
PASS: Verify BMC not accessible at ReInstall start ; recovery
PASS: Verify BMC not accessible at ReInstall start ; timeout
PASS: Verify BMC accessibility loss over Install process
PASS: Verify netboot request failure handling ; no/bad response ; max retry
PASS: Verify reset request failure handling ; no retries
PASS: Verify BMC de-provisioning over install ; failure handling
PASS: Verify BMC re-provisioning over install ; BMC initially not accessible
PASS: Verify BMC re-provisioning over install ; BMC initially accessible
PASS: Verify install requiring power on but gets power-on receive failure
PASS: Verify install requiring power on but gets power-on request failure

No BMC Test Cases: Success
--------------------------
PASS: Verify install when host is powered on and online

No BMC Test Cases: Failure
--------------------------
PASS: Verify reinstall action handling during reinstall ; no install interruption
PASS: Verify install when host is powered off ; install fails
PASS: Verify install when host is powered on and offline ; install fails

Regression:
-----------
PASS: Verify host reset
PASS: Verify host power-off
PASS: Verify host power-on
PASS: Verify host sensor model and monitoring
