Steve Baker cb216b6cd8 Add DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_RDO to define repo behaviour 
Currently the latest RDO repo is installed on centos9
for the python-hardware package. This would not be appropriate in the
following cases:
* When repos are copied in from the host via DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF
* When another element is responsible for setting up repos

This change adds environment variable DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_RDO, which will
only be set to `1` on centos9, when DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF isn't set, and
when the user hasn't explicitly set DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_RDO.

This retains the current default behaviour of just working, while
giving flexibility for repos to be set up another way.

Ironic Python Agent (IPA) Extra Hardware

This element adds the hardware python package to the Ironic Python Agent (IPA) ramdisk. It also installs several package dependencies of the hardware module.

The hardware package provides improved hardware introspection capabilities and supports benchmarking. This functionality may be enabled by adding the extra-hardware collector in the [DEFAULT] inspection_collectors option or the ipa-inspection-collectors kernel command line argument.

The following environment variables may be set to configure the element when doing a source-based installation:

  • DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_PACKAGE the full hardware Python package descriptor to use. If unset, DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_VERSION will be used.
  • DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_VERSION the version of the hardware package to install when DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_PACKAGE is unset. If unset, the latest version will be installed.
  • DIB_IPA_HARDWARE_RDO set to 0 to prevent the latest RDO package repositories being installed on CentOS-9-Stream (ignored when DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF is set).
