Generic boot-from-volume (TheJulia)
===================================
* trello: https://trello.com/c/UttNjDB7/13-generic-boot-from-volume
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - API side changes for volume connector information has a procedural -2 until we can begin making use of the data in the conductor, but should stil be reviewed
        - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/214586/
        - This change has been rebased on top of the iPXE template update revision to support cinder/iscsi booting.
    - Boot from volume/storage cinder interface is up for review.
        - https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/ironic+branch:master+topic:bug/1559691
    - Original volume connection information client patches were rebased this past week
        - They need OSC support added into the revisions.
        - These changes are extremely unlikely to make client freeze for this cycle, which means we should target to land them at the beginning of Pike
