Determine how a configdrive can be used when deploying with an ESI node #471

A configdrive allows for additional node configuration, and may be useful to users. Let's explore what can be done, and do any needed documentation/development work.

Ironic can pass in a configdrive on the command line when deploying. However, this isn't effective in the boot-from-volume case; metalsmith already takes advantage of the configdrive; and our current use case for pulling an image from a URL (used in the OpenShift Assisted Installer_ doesn't require a configdrive, since the custom image has all the needed configuration. As a result, this doesn't really seem to be necessary.
