IPMI configuration addition

Request: Add system configuration of \'ipmi.address\' that we can fill in.

I have multiple devices that support IPMI (no HP gear or I\'d say ILO, and Dell DRAC seems IPMI-like as well) but the only way to support IPMI is by adding a separate host just to get IPMI. That\'s counter-intuitive.

I read https://support.logicmonitor.com/entries/21388113-best-way-to-monitor-ipmi and that seems like something we (customers) shouldn\'t need to do if the hardware already has a configured IPMI interface. Not all devices support the ability to load 3rd-party applications (think of appliances you buy for different things, from storage to firewalls and everything in-between) so the link doesn\'t work.

    Not only is it counter-intuitive to have to add a second host, its an extra host that is then billed.
