vmware: deprecate ESX driver

[Subbu]

VMware has decided to deprecate the ESX driver both in Nova and Cinder. The idea is to focus on the VC driver since that gives much more direct value to users.

ESX Nova driver is already deprecated for IceHouse - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/79060/

The ESX Cinder driver also needs to be marked deprecated for IceHouse and removed in Juno.

Given the manner that the vCenter driver subverts much of the utility of Cinder's various integrations, it's extremely surprising that this was allowed to proceed. The vCenter driver breaks the model (although I can certainly understand why VMware would attempt to do this)... just surprised it was caught for what it is.

Last sentence should read : "... just surprised it wasn't caught for what is "
