Define new functional test tox env for placement gate to run

We have placement-nova-tox-functional-py38 job defined and run
on placement gate[1] to run the nova functional test excluding
api and notification _sample_tests, and db-related tests but that
job skip those tests via tox_extra_args which is not right way
to do as we currently facing error when tox_extra_args is included
in tox siblings task

Let's define a new tox env which can exclude the required test
in stestr command itself.
