Dan Smith d98d728285 Deprecate the vmwareapi driver

As of now, questions on the mailing list are going unanswered, and the
Nova team does not have a clear representative owner for the driver
to which bugs and other reports can be directed. There does not appear
to be a CI system running tests for the driver anymore, and the latest
indication from the community[1] points to it being potentially broken with
devstack.

This patch starts the deprecation timer for the driver and/or serves
as a flare to gauge interest (or lack thereof) in continuing to maintain
the driver.

     removed in a future one. The driver is not tested by the OpenStack
     Nova project and does not have a clear maintainer.
