Agent installer interoperability with ZTP

Ensure that manifests generated by agent create cluster-manifests are sufficient (when combined with appropriate BareMetalHost resources) to stand up a cluster using ZTP.
Ensure that manifests generated by SiteConfig can be added to the cluster-manifests directory and used to generate an appropriate agent ISO using agent create image.

Why is this important?

Previously, the install-config and SiteConfig/ZTP have been two parallel but unrelated paths to creating a cluster automatically. The agent installer provides an opportunity to tell a story about how they are related, and allows users to select different installation methods depending on their needs while starting from the same configuration.

User generates ZTP manifests from an install-config using the agent create cluster-manifests command, then applies them to a MCE cluster with oc apply to create a cluster.
User generates ZTP manifests from a SiteConfig and copies them to the cluster-manifests directory, then generates an agent ISO with agent create image and manually boots the ISOs to install.
