Figure out a way to boot/inspect nodes without having to know mac addresses ahead of time #461

when pxe booting we can supply a default file to boot an unknown system (as long as it's on the provisioning network). This would be convenient because then ironic would know what the correct mac addresses are, and we can immediately have hardware inventory available.

With the ml2-ansible networking setup though, the introspection process involves first attaching the introspection network to the node at the switch, which requires knowledge of the switch port. I don't know if we can change that without fundamentally reconfiguring ESI.
