Subject: [PATCH] Deprecate ibmc

The ibmc hardware type and related code is no longer being tested in
third party CI. No party has stepped up to continue maintaining and
supporting this code. As such, our standard practice is to deprecate
and remove the driver code.

+deprecations:
+  - |
+    The ``ibmc`` hardware type has been deprecated. While the Huawei team
+    setup Third-Party CI for the driver's inclusion into ironic, the CI
+    unfortunately went down around the time the United States of America
+    announced commerce restrictions against Huawei.
+    
+    Unfortunantely, without third party CI and no contacts to maintain the
+    driver, the ironic community is left with little choice but to deprecate
+    and ultimately remove the driver.
