Steve Baker 51d988af54 Support PXE network boot with grub
It is now possible to do a PXE network boot with grub as an
alternative to iPXE. Grub is loaded via the signed shim, so it may
allow end-to-end automated deployments with secure-boot enabled.

To use grub network boot, deploy bifrost with variable
``default_boot_interface`` set to ``pxe``.

This feature is tested by job
bifrost-integration-redfish-uefi-fedora-latest.

test-bifrost.sh is also modified to only enable the hardware-type
driver which matches driver used for test nodes. This allows a default
interface to be set which is not supported by one of the enabled
drivers (for example, ironic will exit because the ilo driver doesn't
support the pxe boot interface)
