redfish: permit ipmitool-socat console for redfish usage

Browse Source 
We've had a couple asks about enabling ipmitool-socat console usage
with the redfish hardware type.

This doesn't pickup parameters from driver_info to figure out the IPMI
username, password, and hostname/address, which turns out to be a rather
invasive change to ipmi handling code and test code as well.

The use of the ``ipmitool-socat`` console interface on any hardware type

Serial consoles can be configured in the Bare Metal service as follows:

The ``ipmitool-socat`` console interface is now available for users of the
``redfish`` hardware type. This was done as an enablement action for
operators to be able to leverage IPMI based Serial-over-Lan connections.
This option requires the IPMI parameters to be configured on the baremetal
node in addition to the ``redfish`` hardware type.
