Deprecate xclarity hardware type
Lenovo Third Party CI is still being setup, and while they are making forward progress, we need to plan ahead for the Stein cycle. As such, marking the xclarity hardware type and related interfaces as deprecated. Once Lenovo has their 3rd party CI operational, this change can be reverted.

+ The ``xclarity`` 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
+ Lenovo XClarity is functional.
+
+ The ``xclarity`` hardware type was introduced at the end of the Queens
+ development cycle. During implementation of Third Party CI, the Lenovo
+ team encountered some unforseen delays. Lenovo is continuing to work
+ towards Third Party CI, and upon establishment and verification of
+ functional Third Party CI, this deprecation will be rescinded.
