Ruby Loo 578f01678c Follow-up to fix for power action failure
This is a follow-up patch to the patch so that the power status
is not retried if a power action fails:

It addresses the comments as well as adds more clarification
and updates the documentation to refer to the new

deprecations:
- |
Configuration option ``[ipmi]/retry_timeout`` is deprecated in favor of
these new options:
* ``[ipmi]/command_retry_timeout``: timeout value to wait for an IPMI
command to complete (be acknowledged by the baremetal node)
* ``[conductor]/power_state_change_timeout``: timeout value to wait for
a power operation to complete, so that the baremetal node is in the
desired new power state
fixes:
- |
Prevents the IPMI driver from needlessly checking status of the baremetal
node if a power change action fails. Additionally, stops retrying power
actions and power status polls on receipt of a non-retryable error from
ipmitool. For more information, see
https//bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1675529. A new configuration option
``[conductor]/power_state_change_timeout`` can be used to specify how many
seconds to wait for a baremetal node to change power state when a power
action is requested.
