Pavlo Shchelokovskyy ce7119eaf3 [ansible] add defaults to config
In a homogeneous hardware deployment that uses the same ramdisk for all
nodes, and possibly the same playbooks for actions with ansible deploy
interface, it is benefitial to make defaults of various `ansible_`
driver_info fields to be configurable via ironic configuration file
to simplify node enrollment.

This patch also deprecates `ansible_deploy_username` and
`ansible_deploy_key_file` options in node's driver_info in favor of
`ansible_username` and `ansible_key_file` respectively.

Adds a new ``ansible`` deploy interface. It targets mostly undercloud
use-case by allowing greater customization of provisioning process.
This new deploy interface is usable only with hardware types.
It is set as supported for a ``generic`` hardware type and all
its subclasses, but must be explicitly enabled in the
``[DEFAULT]enabled_deploy_interfaces`` configuration file option
to actually allow setting nodes to use it.
For migration from the ``staging-ansible`` interface from the
``ironic-staging-drivers`` project to this ``ansible`` interface,
operators have to consider the following differences:
- callback-less operation is not supported
- driver_info fields 'ansible_deploy_username' and
'ansible_deploy_key_file' are deprecated and will be removed
in the Rocky release, use 'ansible_username' and 'ansible_key_file'
respectively
- base path for playbooks can be defined in driver_info as well
(as 'ansible_playbooks_path' field, defaults to the value of
``[ansible]/playbooks_path`` from ironic configuration file
- default playbooks for actions and cleaning steps file can be set in
ironic configuration file as various ``[ansible]/default_*`` options.
Please read the ``ansible`` deploy interface documentation for more
information.
