Adds declaring disk device to use on overcloud nodes
Now in inventory file a user can declare 'disk_device' which will allow the user to specify which disk on their overcloud server to use for installation. The variable can be a comma delimited list, which will search in order post-introspection for the first device on the node that exists. The default disk used will be sda for deployments. Currently defining a per node disk is not supported by OSCLI, so although defined that way in Apex inventory, only the last definition will be used for all nodes. Other changes include: - Various fixes in inventory parsing - Makes bash writing a common function - Introspection now enabled for baremetal deployments JIRA: APEX-296 Change-Id: I330d91eb17408ccfceb7a99c25edbae5ce6d848d Signed-off-by: Tim Rozet <trozet@redhat.com>
