This PR is a proposal to re-align the meaning of ipmi.bmcport for Dell servers.

The PR is to fix issue #7316

The modification include

Change bmcsetup to make sure that bmcport=0 sets the iDRAC NIC on Dell servers as shared, and bmcport=1 configures it to use the dedicated interface, as documented in the ipmi table doc.

It would be great if this PR could be reviewed, and eventually merged. Thanks!

I also removed the dependency on ipmitool delloem and used IPMI raw commands instead, to make it more robust across Dell server generations, and less dependent on specific ipmitool versions.
