We should definitely move forward with novaclient CLI deprecations.

We've said that microversions are idempotent, so fixing one in this case
isn't really what we want to do, it should just be another bump, with
things we apparently missed. I'm not sure it's super important that
there is a REAL proxy API microversion. We got most of it in one go, and
as long as we catch the stragglers in 2.39 (let's make that the last
merged one before the release so that we can figure out anything else we
missed, and keep get me a network as 2.37).
