Allow for password less connectivity using the native linux OpenIPMI kernel driver interface.

Linux allow direct RO access to the HW BMC without needing to authenticate (ipmitool use that interface by default) on compatible hardware such as any HPE/DELL or Supermicro server.

Could the exporter try to use this interface when run without the --secrets.static option? That would allow us to use the bmc_exporter as a deamonset on our nodes without having to open the IPMI Over Lan feature.

Let me know if you need further informations.
