Dmitry Tantsur fd1848282f Remove the deprecated ironic-agent element
Despite having several issues (like missing firmware), it is still
used by people. It seems that the only way to stop that is to remove it.

proliant-tools
==============
* This element can be used when building ironic-python-agent ramdisk. It
enables ironic-python-agent ramdisk to do in-band cleaning operations
specific to HPE ProLiant hardware.
* Works with ubuntu and fedora distributions (on which the
ironic-python-agent-ramdisk element is supported).
* Currently the following utilities are installed:
+ `proliantutils`_ - This module registers an ironic-python-agent hardware
manager for HPE ProLiant hardware, which implements in-band cleaning
steps. The latest version of ``proliantutils`` available is
installed. This python module is released with Apache license.
+ `HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA) CLI for Linux 64-bit`_ - This
utility is used by ``proliantutils`` library above for doing in-band RAID
configuration on HPE ProLiant hardware. Currently installed version is
2.60. Newer version of ``ssacli`` when available, may be installed to
the ramdisk by using the environment variable ``DIB_SSACLI_URL``.
``DIB_SSACLI_URL`` should contain the HTTP(S) URL for downloading the
RPM package for ``ssacli`` utility. The old environmental variable
``DIB_HPSSACLI_URL``,a HTTP(S) URL for downloading the RPM package for
``hpssacli`` utility, is deprecated. The ``hpssacli`` utility is not
supported anymore, use ``ssacli`` instead for the same functionality.
Availability of newer versions can be in the Revision History
in the above link. This utility is closed source and is released with
`HPE End User License Agreement Enterprise Version`_.
