Gary Lin 2e0e179298 redfish: Read options from redfish.conf
This commit adds redfish.conf to configure the IP and username/password
in case those are not available in SMBIOS and the EFI variables.

Since we can configure the IP in the conf file, the environment
variable, FWUPD_REDFISH_URI, is removed.

Redfish Support

Introduction

Redfish is an open industry standard specification and schema that helps enable simple and secure management of modern scalable platform hardware.

By specifying a RESTful interface and utilizing JSON and OData, Redfish helps customers integrate solutions within their existing tool chains.

Setting Service IP Manually

The service IP may not be automatically discoverable due to the absence of Type 0x42 entry in SMBIOS. In this case, you have to specify the service IP to RedfishUri in /etc/fwupd/redfish.conf

Take HPE Gen10 for example, the service IP can be found with the following command:

# ilorest --nologo list --selector=EthernetInterface. -j

This command lists all network interfaces, and the Redfish service IP belongs to one of "Manager Network" Interfaces. For example:

{
  "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#EthernetInterface.EthernetInterface",
  "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Managers/1/EthernetInterfaces/1/",
  "@odata.type": "#EthernetInterface.v1_0_3.EthernetInterface",
  "Description": "Configuration of this Manager Network Interface",
  "HostName": "myredfish",
  "IPv4Addresses": [
    {
      "SubnetMask": "255.255.255.0",
      "AddressOrigin": "DHCP",
      "Gateway": "192.168.0.1",
      "Address": "192.168.0.133"
    }
  ],
  ...

In this example, the service IP is "192.168.0.133".

Since the conventional HTTP port is 80 and HTTPS port is 443, we can set RedfishUri to either "http://192.168.0.133:80" or "https://192.168.0.133:443" and verify the uri with

$ curl http://192.168.0.133:80/redfish/v1/

or

$ curl -k https://192.168.0.133:443/redfish/v1/
