Gonéri Le Bouder 404bfda982 ipxe: add --timeout parameter to kernel and initrd

In case of network issue during the download of the ramdisk or the
kernel, ipxe can freeze. The default timeout value is "unlimited" [0] [1].
If force_power_state_during_sync is False, ironic will just ignore the
node until someone do an human intervention.

By setting a timeout, we ensure ipxe will just give up. Depending on the
BIOS configuration, a new boot attempt may be done immedialey without the
hassle of a hard reboot.
