This removes the `Aer` object and the metapath shenanigans that enabled importing from `qiskit.providers.aer`. All references to `qiskit.providers.aer` in the Terra repository are updated to use `qiskit_aer` instead, which is a drop-in replacement following Aer 0.11. This commit leaves the IBMQ object in place for now, since its removal will affect many other places in the repository and should be handled separately.
