Refactor mlnx mechanism driver to support infiniband only

    The old mlnx mechanism driver was used for SR-IOV with Ethernet
    and infiniband support but the PCI allocation wasn't done by nova.
    Juno introduced sriovnicswitch mechanism driver for SR-IOV with
    Ethernet support. Mellanox recommends on using it.
    The updated mlnx mechanism driver supports SR-IOV infiniband.

    * support only port vnic_type 'direct'
    * update vif_type name to ib_hostdev (the ib_hostdev is generic vif_type
      for SR-IOV infiniband see https://review.openstack.org/#/c/187052/)
