    Remove dead code of api.fault notification sending
    
    Based on the description of the notify_on_api_faults config option [1]
    and the code that uses it [2] nova sends and api.fault notification
    if the nova-api service encounters an unhandle exception.
    There is a FaultWrapper class [3] added to the  pipeline of the REST
    request which catches every exception and calls the notification sending.
    
    Based on some debugging in devstack this FaultWrapper never catches any
    exception. Every REST API method is decorated with expected_errors
    decorator [5] which as a last resort translate the unexpected exception
    to HTTPInternalServerError. In the wsgi stack the actual REST api call is
    guarded with ResourceExceptionHandler context manager [7] which translates
    HTTPException to a Fault [8]. Then Fault is catched and translated to
    the REST response [7]. This way the exception never propagates back to
    the FaultWrapper and therefore the api.fault notification is never emitted.
    
    Based on the git history of the expected_errors decorator this notification
    was never emitted for v2.1 API and as the v2.0 API now supported with the
    same codebase than v2.1 it is not emitted for v2.0 calls either. As nobody
    reported a bug I assume that nobody tried to use this notification for a 
very
    long time. Therefore instead of fixing this bug this patch propses to remove
    the dead code.
    
    See a bit more detailed description on the ML [9].

Title:
  api.fault notification is never emitted

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  Setting the notifications.notify_on_api_faults configuration parameter
  to True and then producing an nova-api fault by injecting a ValueError
  does not lead to an api.fault notification.

  See the nova-api logs here [1] and the patch that inject the
  ValueError (and some extra traces) here [2].

  [1] https://pastebin.com/Eu6rBjNN
  [2] https://pastebin.com/en4aFutc

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================
  1) apply [2]
  2) restart nova services
  3) try to create a new aggregate: `nova aggregate-create my-aggregate2`
  4) look at the message bus (or the logs if you set the notification driver to 
log first)

  Environment
  ===========
  nova version from master: bc4c91e7be8e4c52506a8f970078ecee6655ee82
  config: default devstack +

  [notifications]
  notify_on_api_faults = True

  [oslo_messaging_notifications]
  driver = log
