Feature request: implement a service in the integration for sending custom ipmitool commands

[35gh]

I know it's possible to send custom ipmitool commands using the IPMItool server module: _Yes, you can run any custom command you want. For example http://YOUR_HASS_SERVER_IP:9595/command?params=-I%20lanplus%20-H%20YOUR_IPMI_SERVER_IP%20-U%20ADMIN%20-P%20YOUR_PASSWORD%20bmc%20info which translates to ipmitool -I lanplus -H YOUR_IPMI_SERVER_IP -U YOUR_USER -P YOURPASSWORD bmc info. %20 stands for space (url encoding). You get back a json with success and output keys. Basically you can provide any params you want to ipmitool.

It will be useful to have the integration implementing a service that could do the same, leveraging server IP, login and password, for creating friendly automations (such as raise the server fan speed with temperature). That could also work for setups that do no use the IPMItool server module.

Thanks!
