Public bug reported:

[Description]

In versions of ipmitool earlier than 1.8.14, setting the boot device to
PXE does not work correctly. (You have to reboot within 60 seconds for
it to apply - and that only works for some corner cases.)

With this patch, bootflag options can be set or cleared using:
chassis bootparam set bootflag device options={PEF, timeout, watchdog, reset, 
power}. Using the prefix of "no-" on any of the options sets it the other way. 
As part of this change, I also cleaned up the command line parsing and added 
messages for set bootflag

[Test Cases]

* With this patch bootflag options can be set or cleared by using
chassis bootparam set bootflag device options={PEF, timeout, watchdog,
reset, power}
