Bug description:
  [Impact]

  After installing octavia-api the systemd unit fails to start:

  Failed 'systemctl status octavia-api' output shows:

  error: unrecognized arguments: --http-socket [::]:9876 --ini
  /etc/octavia/octavia-api-uwsgi.ini

  The problem is that init files are configured with UWSGI options but
  the binary being run is not uwsgi. See full output:
  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WHQk2y2F84/

  [Test Case]
  1) sudo apt install octavia-api
  2) watch systemctl status octavia-api  # watch to ensure it doesn't fail
  3) curl 127.0.0.1:9876 # should return something like [1], not [2]

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. The provided fix only touches the octavia-api and is using the standard approach that OpenStack has historically used to start a service which is to use the service's /usr/bin/<service>-api file which in the case of octavia is using wsgiref.simple_server to host the API WSGI server. Ideally we'll like to run the API under an apache2 server but that switch seems more appropriate in a development cycle than a stable cycle.
