Takashi Kajinami c148a64307 Deprecate support for NSX plugin
The NSX plugin repo looks unmaintained. No release was created since
Victoria and the repository does not have a few stable branches
(wallaby and xena). Master has not been updated for a while but only
a few stable branches are maintained. (eg. [1])

We asked project status in the mailing list[2] and I also tried to
directly reach out to the maintainer but we haven't heard any response.

Also, VMWare already announced that NSX-T 3.y will be the last release
series which supports KVM based OpenStack and they support only their
own OpenStack distribution (VIO)[3].

Based on the above items, we assume there would be no user interested
in using puppet-neutron to deploy RHEL/Ubuntu based OpenStack with
NSX-T integrated, and deprecate support for the plugin, so that we can
remove the unused implementation completely after the Zed release.

never been proposed or merged to master.
