Julia Kreger 7cd960f8e1 Deprecate xclarity hardware type
Lenovo Third Party CI is still being setup,
and while they are making forward progress,
we need to plan ahead for the Stein cycle.

As such, marking the xclarity hardware type
and related interfaces as deprecated.

Once Lenovo has their 3rd party CI operational,
this change can be reverted.

The ``xclarity`` hardware type, as well as the supporting
driver interfaces have been deprecated and are scheduled to be removed
from ironic in the Stein development cycle. This is due to the lack of
operational Third Party testing to help ensure that the support for
Lenovo XClarity is functional.
The ``xclarity`` hardware type was introduced at the end of the Queens
development cycle. During implementation of Third Party CI, the Lenovo
team encountered some unforseen delays. Lenovo is continuing to work
towards Third Party CI, and upon establishment and verification of
functional Third Party CI, this deprecation will be rescinded.
