API Extensions Policy Removal

Registered by Ghanshyam Mann

Nova API extension concept is removed in Pike. But code is still present across
different files.
For Example: api/openstack/compute/extended_availability_zone.py extensions
adds the AZ in GET server API with extending the Show, Detail methods.

These extensions have their own policies enforcement also.
Like 'os_compute_api:os-extended-availability-zone'. Due to that, GET server
API have multiple policies enforcement- show server policy + each extensions
policies.

As there is no way to enable/disable extensions in API but we do have
extensions policies to control the APIs in term of their extended behavior.
