Boot disk API & CLI

Development
1

I released foreman_bootdisk 3.1.0 today which adds an API for
downloading both types of disk images. There's also a new Hammer
plugin, hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk, which lets you do stuff like this:

$ hammer bootdisk host --host wstest.example.com
Successfully downloaded host disk image to wstest.example.com.iso
$ file wstest.example.com.iso wstest.example.com.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM
filesystem data 'CDROM' (bootable)

$ hammer bootdisk generic --file /dev/sdb --force --sudo
[sudo] password for dcleal:
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.371694 s, 2.8 MB/s
Successfully downloaded generic disk image to /dev/sdb

(scary, huh)

The CLI code and packages are up here:
https://github.com/theforeman/hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/pull/307

It depends on hammer-cli nightlies/master at the moment, I'll push
Debian packages too once the next release is out.

That's terrifying. I like it.
