Bug Description

The configuration option [agent]manage_agent_boot was designed for a time where it was possible for an Ironic deployer to use and run their own PXE booting infrastructure and DHCP and have Ironic utilize it.

This should not be a configuration we continue to support, as anyone with this option enabled are effectively walled off from huge portions of Ironic's featureset.

    Deprecate [agent]/manage_agent_boot

    This configuration directive is completely untested, undocumented,
    and requires deployers to manually configure significant
    infrastructure for it. It also bypasses several deploy-time sanity
    checks around whether or not we expect the server to boot.
    Deprecating it for removal in 2025.2 release.
