travis: Use patched version of ipmitool for tests

- For out-of-band management feature (CLOUDSTACK-9299) use patched version of
  ipmitool that would work on trusty travis machines
- The ipmitool used is from xenial/16.04 release with patch from RedHat
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1286035
- Installs ipmitool from xenial repositories to get all the dependencies
  and then install patched deb version
- Skip test if the known failure occurs
