ResetBios passes nil payload

Lenovo seems to not permit a null payload to the Bios.ResetBios endpoint:

Gofish passes a null payload, with no way to override it

gofish/redfish/bios.go

Lines 180 to 182 in 6e8a290

    
           func (bios *Bios) ResetBios() error { 
        
           	return bios.Post(bios.resetBiosTarget, nil) 
        
           }

resetBiosTarget is not directly exposed either, so the only option seems to be to do an Entity.Post with hardcoded uri and custom empty payload, which seems less than ideal.

bios.Post("/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Bios/Actions/Bios.ResetBios", map[string]interface{}{})

Should the payload be changed to an empty map by default? I'm not clear if the schema for Bios.BiosReset expressly permits or prohibits a null payload.

The spec isn't super clear on that. I don't have systems to test right now, but if you wanted to put up a PR that changes it to pass an empty body, maybe we can find someone that would be able to test that change against other vendors and verify for us if it's acceptable or not.
