[th/drop-ibft-settings-plugin] settings: drop ibft settings plugin

Thomas Haller requested to merge th/drop-ibft-settings-plugin into master

QUOTE:

The functionality of the ibft settings plugin is now handled by nm-initrd-generator. There is no need for it anymore, drop it.

Note that ibft called iscsiadm, which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to work ([1]). We really want to drop this capability, so the current solution of a settings plugin (as it is implemented) is wrong. The solution instead is nm-initrd-generator.

Also, on Fedora the ibft was disabled and probably on most other distributions as well. This was only used on RHEL.
