Subject: [PATCH] feat(nodediscover): set netboot=ipxe on discovered x86 nodes

A discovered x86 node without an x86 method got netboot=xnba, which
names the xNBA loader that xCAT retires. It now gets netboot=ipxe, the
method of the upstream iPXE loader that discovery itself uses. A node
that already has pxe, ipxe or xnba keeps it.
