Bug description:
  [Description]
  OpenStack cinder in Focal (OpenStack Ussuri) is lacking iSCSI support for HPE Primera 4.2 and higher. This is now supported in Cinder and we would like to enable it in Ubuntu Focal as well as OpenStack Ussuri.

  The rationale for this SRU falls under harware enablement for Long
  Term Support releases.

  [Test Case]
  1. Deploy OpenStack with:
   - HPE 3PAR *iSCSI* driver enabled for Cinder
   - with Primera >= 4.2
    as per: https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/drivers/hpe-3par-driver.html
  2. Create a volume
    openstack volume create (--type hpe-primera) --size 10 sru-test-before

  3. Confirm the volume is successfully created while it gave an error
  as "For Primera, only FC is supported. iSCSI cannot be used"
  previously.

  [Regression Potential]
  This is a pretty simple patch. Where the code used to always raise a not implemented error for Primera, it now raises the not implemented error only for < Primera 4.2. Where things could go wrong? It's possible the version checking could have an issue but that code seems standard and the upstream patch has been merged back to stable/victoria [1]. Regression testing will cover that code path as well.
