Enable reducing the number of sensors managed by IPMI

IPMI is only able to support a finite amount of SDR records. Modern
servers are capable of exceeding the number of sensors the IPMI
specification can support.

The change made in this commit filters sensors from a service based
upon contents in a JSON configuration file.

Tested:
Confirmed the default compile resulted in too many sensors being
created.
Added the 'sensor_filter.json' file and confirmed the number of
sensors was reduced, and 'ipmitool sdr list' no longer exhibited error
messages.

Compile ipmid with default options:

meson builddir
ninja -C builddir

Compile ipmid with yocto defaults:

meson builddir -Dbuildtype=minsize -Db_lto=true -Dtests=disabled
ninja -C builddir

If any of the dependencies are not found on the host system during configuration, meson automatically gets them via its wrap dependencies mentioned in ipmid/subprojects.

Enable/Disable meson wrap feature

meson builddir -Dwrap_mode=nofallback
ninja -C builddir

Enable debug traces

meson builddir -Dbuildtype=debug
ninja -C builddir

Generate test coverage report:

meson builddir -Db_coverage=true -Dtests=enabled
ninja -C builddir test
ninja -C builddir coverage
