Hans Lindgren c5e2d4b6b4 Remove unused provider firewall rules functionality in nova
Provider firewall rules functionality is not in use and hasn't been
for a very long time. The api for this was removed in [1] and db api
methods for adding/removing rows in the associated db table have not
been used since.

Stop refreshing those rules as it is essentially a no-op and indeed a
costly one that includes a rpc round trip to the conductor to get
back an always empty db result. This should have a positive impact on
instance boot performance since the conductor call happens to live
inside an externally syncronized block of code.

Removes related compute rpcapi/manager code that were missed in a
recent cleanup[2]. Since this functionality hasn't been in use since
Havana timeframe(!), it should be fairly safe to remove without first
deprecating it.

Also removes the now unused virtapi method provider_fw_rule_get_all()
and the virtapi itself from virt firewall driver initialization.

OpenStack Nova README

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.

Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

http://docs.openstack.org

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova

Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:

http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst file.
