provide simple monitoring not only for machine, but also for machine-sp

Right now there is no easy way to tell if a BMC is alive or dead.
It would be nice to add an extra column (next to IPv4/IPv6/SSH/Login) to ping the BMC, in case one is configured. I think a simple ping test would do the job.

Perhaps this could be extended to run "ipmitool sol info" or whatever to check if the credentials are correct, which means another column. Or just merge both tests like " if (ping && ipmitool): green ; else red" .
