ipmi_* modules do not support specifying RCMP encryption key

[bluikko]

Summary

IPMI traffic may be encrypted with RCMP (RCMP+ of IPMI 2.0?) and IPMI BMCs provide a setting for this key. But the modules ipmi_boot and ipmi_power do not support user-specified encryption key.

The underlying python library pyghmi does support specifying the encryption key to the Command object:

    :param kg: Optional parameter to use if BMC has a particular Kg configured

This parameter should take the 128-bit encryption key usually specified as a hex string.
