Yumeng Bao 7ee7de1ec9 Remove OPAE dependency in devstack
This patch removes OPAE driver package from cyborg-agent dependencies due to
the following reasons:

1. In the kolla cyborg-agent image we install OPAE, but OPAE is not
available for CentOS 8 for the moment. This will make the cyborg-agent image
unbuildable in Ussuri[0].

2. In devstack, due to the fact that OPAE packages depend on libjson0, which
is not available after Ubuntu 16.04, so cyborg can't be installed on Ubuntu
higher than 16.04 now(unless disable dependency manually). Moreover,from
cyborg's perspective, it does not need to contain any hardware driver
dependency, we can assume the admin should know about it and install the
correct version.

3. We had an agreement at Victoria PTG that we should remove.[1]
