Remove device from volume attach requests

Registered by Matt Riedemann

As discussed in the mailing list:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-April/114846.html

The backend virt drivers cannot really honor the requested device name for a block device when creating a server or attaching a volume. We randomly get bugs and questions about this, so let's fix the API by removing the device entry in the POST requests from these APIs.

    Remove device from BDM POST requests (spec)

I'm removing this from consideration for Pike, see the spec review for discussion and details. This might be something we can do a few releases down the road, but we have other things that need to get done before we can consider it. -- mriedem 20170405

After renewed discussion on the spec https://review.openstack.org/#/c/452546/ I'm going to re-propose this for Rocky but change the scope to just volume attach requests rather than also try to deal with the boot-from-volume usage of device_name to correlate image-defined BDMs. -- mriedem 20180604
