Shuhei Matsumoto 4a73675dbf nvme: Remove deprecated spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reset_async() and _reset_poll_async()
Change spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reset() to use spdk_nvme_ctrlr_disconnect(),
spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reconnect_async(), and
spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reconnect_poll_async().

Then remove the deprecated spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reset_async() and
spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reset_poll_async().

These changes simplify the following patches to make
spdk_nvme_ctrlr_disconnect() asynchronous.

# Deprecation
## ABI and API Deprecation {#deprecation}
This document details the policy for maintaining stability of SPDK ABI and API.
Major ABI version can change at most once for each quarterly SPDK release.
ABI versions are managed separately for each library and follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
API and ABI deprecation notices shall be posted in the next section.
Each entry must describe what will be removed and can suggest the future use or alternative.
Specific future SPDK release for the removal must be provided.
ABI cannot be removed without providing deprecation notice for at least single SPDK release.
