Ironic parameter rework and default NTP server
This patch moves the default Ironic kernel parameters
from templates into variables located in the 'Kernel
Parameters' section. Existing configurations are supported
using existing variables. Default NTP configuration for
the Ironic Python Agent (IPA) was also added in this patch.
