Matt Riedemann 43fe032a15 Deprecate CONF.api.allow_instance_snapshots
The introduction of this option predates Gerrit [1]. It is
not used consistently, since it's not used for createBackup
or shelve APIs which also create snapshots. And it's not
discoverable.

We need to deprecate this option and anyone that cares to
disable snapshots needs to do it via policy.

The ``[api]/allow_instance_snapshots`` configuration option is now
deprecated for removal. To disable snapshots in the ``createImage`` server
action API, change the ``os_compute_api:servers:create_image`` and
``os_compute_api:servers:create_image:allow_volume_backed`` policies.
