Richard Pioso c56777929a Fix Redfish handle no continuous override boot src
Some hardware Redfish services have dropped support for continuously
overriding the boot source when the boot mode is Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI). See this discussion:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-April/014543.html

A workaround falls back to one-time override, restoring it on every
reboot or power on. [1] However, it does not work, because, per the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Redfish standard, one-time
override is disabled on the next boot cycle. [2] This fixes that by
explicitly setting the boot source override to one-time every time it is
restored.

Fixes a workaround for hardware that does not support persistent
boot device setting with the ``redfish`` or ``idrac-redfish``
management interface implementation. When such situation is
detected, ironic falls back to one-time boot device setting,
restoring it on every reboot or power on.
