scsi: lpfc: Remove failing soft_wwn support
The soft_wwpn/soft_wwn functionality, which allows the driver to modify service parameters in an attempt to override the adapter-assigned WWN, was originally attempted to be removed roughly 6 yrs ago as new fabric features were being introduced that clashed with the implementation. In the end, the feature was left in with the user being responsible if things went south. We've reached a point where soft_wwn is no longer functional and is failing in almost all production use cases. Use of Fabric features such as Fabric Assigned WWPN and Automatic DPORT is now prevalent and the features require coordination between the adapter and driver that can't be solved by the simplistic update of the service parameters. As it is no longer functional, the feature is to be removed. There are still ways to override the adapter-assigned WWN but they require the admin to invoke bios/efi level menus.
