STX-Openstack: Can't build packages with Antelope versions

[Lucas de Ataides Barreto]

Brief Description
-----------------
During the STX-Openstack upversion (story 2010715: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2010715), the team stumbled on an issue with the packages' dependencies versions. Since every package is limited by the upper constraints (https://opendev.org/starlingx/root/src/branch/master/build-tools/requirements/debian/upper-constraints.txt), after upversoning the packages to Antelope, they were not getting the correct versions for the dependencies, and, in some cases, the build even failed due to a version requirement that was way above the one on the upper constraints.

With this issue, the STX-Openstack Distro Team is unable to build and test the required packages for the upversion, unless we locally modify both the upper constraints and the downloader list (https://opendev.org/starlingx/tools/src/branch/master/debian-mirror-tools/config/debian/common/base-bullseye.lst) so the correct Antelope versions are downloaded / used.

Severity
--------
Critical: Packages fail to build / build with incorrect versions

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
Build any client package on starlingx/openstack-armada-app (Example: python-novaclient)

Expected Behavior
------------------
Build succeeds and buildinfo shows versions compatible with Antelope (https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/)

Actual Behavior
----------------
Build fails or packages gets versions that are not compatible with Antelope.

Reproducibility
---------------
100% reproducible

System Configuration
--------------------
Does not Apply

    Remove unused packages from openstack-armada-app

    The purpose of this change is to remove packages that are not used by
    STX-Openstack from this repository. At the time these folders were
    copied from the `starlingx/upstream` repo to here on [1], the goal was
    to simply get the folder structure and all the packages, but, now that
    the this repository is being actively used for the STX-Openstack
    upversion to Antelope, we noticed that these packages are either not
    used (barbican, keystone, openstack-resource-agents, horizon,
    python-osc-lib, python-oslo.messaging, python-wsme, rabbitmq-server),
    or were dropped from Openstack (gnocchi and the python-gnocchiclient
    are not present on Antelope, as these services were removed from the
    Openstack project [2] [3]).

    Except for gnocchi and python-gnocchiclient, as explained above, these packages were present on the `starlingx/upstream` repository as they're required for the StarlingX builds and ISO, but not for the STX-Openstack application, for that reason, these are safe to be dropped from this repository.

    [3] https://opendev.org/openstack/python-gnocchiclient

    Test Plan:
    PASS: Removed packages are not found when issuing `build-pkgs`
    PASS: Build all STX-Openstack images
    PASS: Build STX-Openstack tarball
    PASS: Upload / apply / remove STX-Openstack
