Now that ironic-lib builds IPA from source, the IPA building procedure needs to support requirements referring to /opt/stack/new. As upper-constraints are not actually needed in the finalise step, they're no longer used there to avoid dealing with file:/// references. We also allow pre-release packages to be installed by pip. Also install git as it's a build requirement for PBR. Only tinyipa is updated, as it's used in the ironic-lib gate. Change-Id: Ia942cb710eb3fe1ba56c68f91fa893795c9cb651 Closes-Bug: #1695877

ironic-python-agent
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
