Add various scripts for server power management and build process

- Introduced .gitignore to exclude unnecessary files
- Added scripts for powering on/off servers via IPMI and iLO
- Implemented multi_powercycle script to manage multiple servers
- Created build script for packaging multi_powercycle with PyInstaller
- Enhanced logging functionality across scripts
