Jim Rollenhagen 4e35b0ee64 Use constraints for all the things
This configures tox to use upper-constraints for everything, except
environments used for post jobs (as constraints aren't supported there
yet).

This also doesn't enable constraints for our image builds, as it isn't
possible to pass an environment variable into the Dockerfile to allow
folks to choose their own constraints file (and we don't want to force
people to rely on git.o.o for building images).

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
