Enhance pxe_ilo driver to do inband inspection as well. The local_link_information can be retrieved only through inband as of now and ironic-inspector is able to get it. There are other capabilities as well which inspector can get but OOB doesn't get.
A config variable "oob_inspection_only" would be added under [ilo] section and the default value will be true. If the "oob_inspection_only" is set to true, pxe_ilo would do only OOB inspection. If it is set to False, then pxe_ilo would be able to do both OOB + inband inspection.
There is a RFE already existing for iLO drivers for the inband inspection support(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1526382). But iscsi_ilo and agent_ilo requires vmedia support in inspector which requires the spec "Boot Management for inspector" spec(https://review.openstack.org/#/c/305864/) to be approved. |

A config variable "hardware_inspection_type" would be added under [ilo] section with possible values as 'oob' and 'inband'. The default value will be 'oob'. If the "hardware_inspection_type" is set to 'oob', pxe_ilo would do only OOB inspection. If it is set to 'inband', then pxe_ilo would be able to do both OOB and inband inspection.
