Remove the vmem cinder drivers for the now discontinued 6000 series product

Registered by Vasanthi Thirumalai

Violin does not anticipate supporting the now discontinued 6000 series product against the Openstack Mitaka release. Hence we would like to pull out the VMEM 6000 cinder driver from the code base.

The drivers for the latest 7000 series product line will continue to be supported.

Whiteboard

(smcginnis) Up to Violin, but it may be good to mark as deprecated in Mitaka and remove in N. That would imply continuing to run CI against the old driver and providing a minimum level of support for it through M though.

    Removes the Violin 6000 FC and iSCSI drivers The 6000 series of arrays are no longer supported. They are now replaced by the more recent 7000 series of arrays. Therefore, the 6000 drivers are removed from here to free up the much needed CI resources.
