ipmi: use a file to load SDRs
The IPMI BMC simulator populates the sdr/sensor tables with a minimal
set of entries (Watchdog). But some qemu platforms might want to use
extra entries for their custom needs.

This patch modifies slighty the initializing routine to take into
account a larger set read from a file. The name of the file to use is
defined through a new 'sdr' property of the simulator device.
