Add a section to the docs how to handle grub reinstallations
with Ironic software RAID on BIOS nodes, e.g. during disk
replacements.

Because of the way validation works, the ramdisk deploy interface
currently requires an image_source in addition to kernel/ramdisk.
After 1d6441cc347cfe984721f34ebb0cd64fd9e4d876 it is no longer
necessary, and this change removes this requirement.

The parameter has not had any effect in the code since
the dual stack PXE work went into place with Ironic as options
are now generated and transmitted to Neutron for both IPv4 and
IPv6. This option is only used by the internal
``dhcp_options_for_instance`` method in
``ironic.common.pxe_utils`` as a fallback if the calling method
does not specify a version. However a later change resulted in the
default behavior calling the dhcp option generation explicitly
to generate both IPv4 and IPv6 parameters, making the option
entirely redundant.
Third party drivers using the ``dhcp_options_for_instance`` method
should consider generating options for both IPv4 and IPv6 at all
times. See change
If7a296001e204ae0c9a49495731052ab33379628 for examples on how
to do this.

Generic fields, such as deploy_iso, should not have vendor prefixes.
This patch removes them from the iRMC boot interfaces with deprecation.

We need a simple "how to reach out to us" page that is not mixed with
code contribution guide. This change adds it by moving information
around and polishing it a bit.

Generic fields, such as deploy_{kernel,ramdisk,iso) and bootloader
should not have vendor prefixes. This patch removes them from
the iLO boot interfaces with deprecation.
Also clean up the code a bit for less repetition.

Not only is this concept user-facing, it's arguably the most important
user-facing concept to grasp, and such it belongs to the user guide.
Add state aliases and provide helpful links for the features.

Provide the fields in the BIOS setting API -
``/v1/nodes/{node}/bios/{setting}``, and in the BIOS setting list API
when details are requested - ``/v1/nodes/<node>/bios?detail=True``.

Yes, project conundrum is a code-name for our transition to OFTC
as we do not want to put anything into freenode IRC which may abruptly
result in the channel being siezed or shutdown by the new
owners/operators of freenode

We should only use prefixed driver_info parameters when they are either
unique to the driver or have different meanings for different drivers.
This is not the case for deploy_iso, but we use vendor prefixes for
historical reasons.
This change migrates the redfish-virtual-media boot interface and
creates helpers to fascilitate migration of other boot interfaces.

Secure RBAC, along with numerous periodics, and even some common API
access patterns heavily access the ironic database and sometimes cause
queries across multiple columns to match nodes to return.
None of this is bad, but what is bad is we didn't have indexes on these
columns.
This change adds docs, and the schema upgrade to create the column
indexes, and a release note to provide more visible documentation
for operators.
It must be stressed that this does *not* improve query times
when all records are asked for on a database connection.
Also adds an upgrade check in to raise a warning for operator
visibility.

Currently handling of kernel_append_params is very inconsistent. This
change applies a straightforward process:
1. instance_info[kernel_append_params]
2. driver_info[kernel_append_params]
3. [$driver]kernel_append_params
The existing ilo_kernel_append_params is declared but never implemented,
so it's removed without deprecation in favor of the new option.

Currently handling of kernel_append_params is very inconsistent. This
change applies a straightforward process:
1. instance_info[kernel_append_params]
2. driver_info[kernel_append_params]
3. [pxe]kernel_append_params (renamed from pxe_append_params).
Also adds a helper for subsequent fixes in other drivers.

* Explain how to use cloud-init boot scripts.
* Explain allocations and mention metalsmith as an easy CLI.
* Use more realistic URLs and checksums in the examples.
* Remove a reference to local boot, it's the default nowadays.
* Replace the iLO note with a more generic one.
* Small fixes and clean ups.

Currently it only contains (outdated) explanations how Ironic works.
Move them one level deeper and migrate the content relevant to users:
* Preparing instance images from the installation guide
* Deploying nodes from the standalone guide
Compatibility shims are provided for migrated pages.
