Julia Kreger 87e68256b6 Add config option for ATA erase fallback in agent
Operators should be able to choose if they wish to fallback when
a disk based secure erase operation fails.

Adds a configuration option to be passed to the agent during
cleaning operations in order to allow that decision to prevent
failed secure erase operations from causing the node to go into
CLEANFAIL state by enabling fallback logic.

features:
- A new configuration option
``[deploy]continue_if_disk_secure_erase_fails``, which
has a default value of False, has been added. If set to
True, the Ironic Python Agent will revert to a disk shred
operation if an ATA secure erase operation fails. Under
normal circumstances, the failure of an ATA secure erase
operation results in the node being put in ``clean failed``
state.
upgrades:
- A new configuration option
``[deploy]continue_if_disk_secure_erase_fails``, which
has a default value of False, has been added. The default
setting represents the standard behavior of the Ironic
Python Agent during a cleaning failure.
