Adding a provider

1. Create a file with the name of the provider under rackops/providers/
2. Implement a provider class inheriting ProviderBase which is defined in rackops/providers/base.py. The provider class is required to implement all methods that raise a NonImplementedError on ProviderBase. The provider class can also override methods defined on ProviderBase if they don't apply to the provider implemented.
3. Import the new provider class on rackops/rackops.py and add a mapping between the provider name and the provider class on the _providers_table method.

Adding a host

1. Create a file with the name of the host under rackops/hosts/
2. Implement a host class inheriting HostBase which is defined in rackops/hosts/base.py. The host class is required to implement all methods that raise a NonImplementedError on the HostBase class. Same as with providers, other methods can be overrided.
3. Import the new host class on rackops/rackops.py and add a mapping between the host name and the host class on the _hosts_table method.
