NEW Feature: Add support for detaching an ISO image to the idrac_os_deployment module

[anupamaloke]

Description

Add support for detaching and disconnecting an ISO image to the idrac_os_deployment module. At present, the only way to disconnect an ISO image is to either reboot the iDRAC or wait for the expose duration to expire. Both of these approaches are not optimal.

New or existing component

idrac_os_deployment

There is currently an idrac_os_deployment ansible role that supports following workflows:

• Boot to Network ISO : similar to what idrac_os_deployment ansible module supports
• Get attach status: ISO attach status (attached/unattached)
• Detach ISO image

quite unusable in this way, the server come in loop after install completed, the expected beaviur on reboot is to detach, but the idrac is locked, don't accept any command, need to be rebooted.... how they tested this functionality????? only working feature is mountig iso to http sharing, os_deployment function what toes it mean????? PS ubuntu 20.04, autoinstall cloud-init, on poweredge R750, BIOS 1.9.2, idrac 6.10.30.00

It's quite confusing to have 2 roles spelled the same to do different jobs. Thanks for having the link to the other one for the redfish-ansible-module which can also use wsman as well (works with both iDrac8 and 9).
