bug: hard startup failure in the API server's DPF SDK initialization due to no site-wide BMC root credential

[rapphil]

Version

v2.0.0-rc.11

Describe the bug.

Nico-api is not able to start with the following error:

Error: Failed to initialize DPF SDK: Invalid state: Site wide BMC root credentials not set

Location:
    crates/api-core/src/setup.rs:533:28

However I cannot set the BMC root credentials because the API is not up and running.

Minimum reproducible example

* fresh site
* configure `dpf.enabled = true`
* empty Vault (no machines/bmc/site/root)
* start the API server.

Relevant log output

Error: Failed to initialize DPF SDK: Invalid state: Site wide BMC root credentials not set

Location:
    crates/api-core/src/setup.rs:533:28

[wminckler]

• the bmc setup docs assume DPF is not enabled
• the dpf setup docs assume the API is already configured for legacy dpu deployment and that the operator will restart the api with the new config
