Deprecate Oneview

I have been attempting to engage contacts who were
involved in the OneView driver's development since
UFCG contributors entered IRC and indicated that
they had been directed to return the OneView hardware
that Third Party CI ran on. I recieved some neutral
replies, but no committment to re-establish third party
CI testing for the oneview driver.

I gave it a little time, and again followed up with
my contacts reminding them of the necessity of third
party CI for a driver to remain in ironic. No reply
or acknolwedgement was receieved. Nor has any activity
been observed upstream that could be attributed to
someone rebuilding third party CI for oneview.

As such, we have little choice but to proceed with
deprecating the oneview hardware type and drivers,
such that we remove them next cycle as we are unable
to maintain them without CI.

+deprecations:
+  - |
+    The ``oneview`` hardware type, as well as the supporting
+    driver interfaces have been deprecated and are scheduled to be removed
+    from ironic in the Stein development cycle. This is due to the lack of
+    operational Third Party testing to help ensure that the support for
+    Oneview is functional.
+    Oneview Third Party CI was shutdown just prior to the start of the Rocky
+    development cycle, and at the time of this deprecation the Ironic
+    community has no indication that testing will be restablished.
+    Should testing be restablished, this deprecation shall be rescinded.
