Stephen Finucane f32890e41d Deprecate MySQL NDB Cluster Support
Traditionally, the MySQL support in oslo.db has assumed use of the
InnoDB storage engine. However, this isn't the only storage engine
available and a few years ago an effort was made to add support for
another storage engine, MySQL Cluster (NDB). The oslo.db aspects of this
effort were tracked via bug 1564110 [1] and from reading this bug and
looking at other patches related to this effort [2], it becomes obvious
that this was never seen through to the completion and the
OpenStack-wide effort never took off [3]. As a result, much of what is
here is in-effect dead code now.

Given no one is using this engine, there's no reason to keep it around.
Deprecate it with an eye on removing it sooner rather than later.

MySQL NDB Cluster support has been deprecated for removal. It appears no
one is using this functionality and it's poorly understood.
