The logic to handle dnsmasq hostfiles is moved from ironic-inspector with only cosmetic changes. The logic to purge the hostsdir is not copied since it relies on running commands with root privileges. A documentation example is added instead. The change is missing the RPC call to notify the filter about changes. It will be done in a follow-up. Change-Id: Ie32018c760c39873ead1da54cfaeae87eaaaf043

In-Band Inspection
In-band inspection involves booting a ramdisk on the target node and fetching information directly from it. This process is more fragile and time-consuming than the out-of-band inspection, but it is not vendor-specific and works across a wide range of hardware.
In the 2023.2 "Bobcat" release series, Ironic received an experimental implementation of in-band inspection that does not require the separate ironic-inspector service.
Note
The implementation described in this document is not 100% compatible with the previous one (based on ironic-inspector). Check the documentation and the release notes for which features are currently available.
Use inspector for
production deployments of Ironic 2023.2 or earlier releases.

Configuration
In-band inspection is supported by all hardware types. The
agent inspect interface has to be enabled to use
it:
[DEFAULT]
enabled_inspect_interfaces = agent,no-inspectYou can make it the default if you want all nodes to use it automatically:
[DEFAULT]
default_inspect_interface = agentOf course, you can configure it per node:
$ baremetal node set --inspect-interface agent <NODE>
