Code Issues Proposed changes

Deprecate nova_ram_weight_multiplier 

Long time ago a variable `nova_ram_weight_multiplier` was implemented
and its default value was set to 5.0.
There are 2 issues with this:
1. Default value in nova is 1.0 [1] so our value is much bigger than
nova's default without having a strong reason for that.
2. OSA does not provide similar variables for other multipliers like
`cpu_weight_multiplier`.

Because there are a couple of different multipliers and more of them
can be implemented in the future(for ex.
`hypervisor_version_weight_multiplier` was implemented in 2023.2) it
would be hard for the OSA project to maintain variables for all of them.
It is better to deprecate `nova_ram_weight_multiplier` and let users
define multipliers with `nova_nova_conf_overrides` if necessary.

deprecations:
- |
``nova_ram_weight_multiplier`` was deprecated. Multipliers should be
defined using ``nova_nova_conf_overrides``.
Please note that default value for ``nova_ram_weight_multiplier`` was
previously set to 5, while nova default is 1. This deprecation will
slightly change weighing behavior in OSA.
