CLOUDSTACK-9299: Out-of-band Management for CloudStackSupport access to a hosts out-of-band management interface (e.g. IPMI, iLO,
DRAC, etc.) to manage host power operations (on/off etc.) and querying current
power state in CloudStack.

Given the wide range of out-of-band management interfaces such as iLO and iDRA,
the service implementation allows for development of separate drivers as plugins.
This feature comes with a ipmitool based driver that uses the
ipmitool (http://linux.die.net/man/1/ipmitool) to communicate with any
out-of-band management interface that support IPMI 2.0.

This feature allows following common use-cases:
- Restarting stalled/failed hosts
- Powering off under-utilised hosts
- Powering on hosts for provisioning or to increase capacity
- Allowing system administrators to see the current power state of the host

For testing this feature, please install `ipmitool` (using yum/apt/brew) and `ipmisim`:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipmisim

The default ipmitool location is assumed in /usr/bin, if this is different in your env please fix the global setting, see FS for details on various global settings.
