Matt Riedemann 75a7e6fc7d Remove unused os-pci API
The os-pci API was never part of the v2.0 API and was added
to the v3 API, but when the v3 API turned into the v2.1 API
which is backward compatible with the v2.0 API, the os-pci
API was removed from v2.1. The original intent was to enable
it in a microversion but that never happened.

We should just delete this API since it has a number of issues
anyway:

1. It's not documented (which makes sense since it's not enabled).
2. The PciHypervisorController just takes the compute_nodes.pci_stats
   dict and dumps it to json out of the REST API with no control over
   the keys in the response. That means if we ever change the fields
   in the PciDevicePool object, we implicitly introduce a backward
   incompatible change in the REST API.
3. We don't want to be reporting host stats out of the API [1].
4. To make the os-hypervisors extension work in a multi-cell environment
   we'd have to add uuids to the PciDevices model and change the API to
   return and take in uuids to identify the devices for GET requests.
5. And last but not least, no one has asked for this in over two years.

As a result of removing this API we can also remove the join on the
pci_devices table when showing details about an instance or listing
instances, which were added years ago because of the PciServerController:
