Yibo Cai f8ff1b26be Support multi arch deployment
Ironic is flexible for x86/x86_64 servers by supporting BIOS and UEFI.
But to deploy servers of other architectures, such as aarch64 or ppc64,
configuration(PXE boot file and config template) must be modified,
which means one Ironic conductor can only deploy baremetal machines of
one architecture.

This patch adds multi arch deployment support. For example, to deploy
x86_64 and aarch64 servers by one Ironic conductor.

Closes-Bug: #1582964

features:
- Support multi architecture deployment. E.g., to
deploy x86_64, aarch64 servers by one ironic conductor.
Two new config options, ``pxe_config_template_by_arch``
and ``pxe_bootfile_name_by_arch``, are introduced to
support multi architecture deployment. They are
dictionary values to hold pxe config templates and
boot files for multiple architectures, with cpu_arch
property per node as the key. If cpu_arch is not found
in dictionary, options ``pxe_config_template``,
``pxe_bootfile_name``, ``uefi_pxe_config_template``,
``uefi_pxe_bootfile_name`` will be used as usual.
