Matt Riedemann e7b84daa87 Deprecate binary argument in nova service enable/disable/force-down CLIs
Change If1e03c9343b8cc9c34bd51c2b4d25acdb21131ff in the API in Pike
makes the os-services API look up services records via the host mapping
in the API datadabase to determine which cell the service lives in.
The host mappings only exist for nova-compute services, which means
you can only enable/disable/force-down nova-compute services now, which
is realistically the only service that ever made sense for those actions.

That change broke some functional tests in novaclient though which loop
through all services and disables them or forces them down. This change
fixes those tests by only attempting the action on nova-compute services.

This change also deprecates the binary argument to the service
enable/disable/force-down commands since the only value that ever really
worked or does anything is nova-compute, so a future version of the CLI
should just hard-code that value.

The ``binary`` argument to the ``nova service-enable``,
``nova service-disable``, and ``nova service-force-down`` commands has been
deprecated. The only binary that it makes sense to use is ``nova-compute``
since disabling a service like ``nova-scheduler`` or ``nova-conductor``
does not actually do anything, and starting in the 16.0.0 Pike release the
compute API will not be able to look up services other than
``nova-compute`` for these operations.
