phosphor: Remove 'pflash -i' service



Once upon a time this service was added to initalise the host flash
before starting the host firmware, otherwise some systems would not
boot.

Ever since e7b0fd56 ("Switch userspace to use MTD access by
default", October 2017) running pflash hs not done this, as it
access the flash through the kernel mtd interface.

A machine could chose use mboxd and the mbox protocol on P8 but it is
not required to fix this issue.
