Allain Legacy b8f3318ca6 Add standalone networking service for ironic
Implements the foundational infrastructure for a new standalone
networking service that can operate independently of the main ironic
conductor. This commit establishes the service skeleton with:

- RPC API layer with oslo.messaging integration for remote calls
- Public API interface for conductor/API to interact with the service
- RPC service implementation for handling network requests
- Stub networking manager with method signatures (implementation
  added in subsequent commit)
- Service entry point (ironic-networking command) for deployment
- Configuration options for service behavior and networking backend
- Infrastructure and packaging changes for the new service

The manager includes stub implementations that raise NetworkError,
with the full implementation of network operations, driver framework
and switch drivers are added in subsequence commits.

Overview
--------

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning
physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be
used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost.
By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines.
Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional
functionality.

Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The
