Description

"User wants to be able to connect foreman bootiso when creating a new VM and boot from it as an alternative to PXE boot (they using vmware as virtualization platform.)

There is networks where PXE boot not is possible due to various reasons a good alternative to PXE boot would be to having foreman connect an foreman bootiso to the VM when it's created and boot from it instead."

Regarding settings, a mixture of:
1. global setting to always use bootdisk for VMs that would otherwise PXE boot
2. per-subnet setting
3. always use it if there's no DHCP and TFTP proxy on the subnet
4. Per-host setting, e.g. an checkbox when creating the host
