remove archaic references to XML in api

Browse Source 
Found another odd reference to XML in the api while grepping
around. This should just be removed, it's only confusing to people.

Serialization
-------------
Actions return a dictionary, and wsgi.Controller serializes that to JSON or XML based on the request's content-type.
If you define a new controller, you'll need to define a ``_serialization_metadata`` attribute on the class, to tell wsgi.Controller how to convert your dictionary to XML. It needs to know the singular form of any list tag (e.g. ``<servers>`` list contains ``<server>`` tags) and which dictionary keys are to be XML attributes as opposed to subtags (e.g. ``<server id="4"/>`` instead of ``<server><id>4</id></server>``).
See `nova/api/openstack/compute/servers.py` for an example.
