Remove the requirement on either endpoint_override or os_ironic_api_version

It makes zero sense from a caller's perspective. We only use it for efficient
caching of API versions, which can safely be bypassed.

+    ``os_ironic_api_version`` to ``get_client``. This is only required for
+    efficient caching of API versions and shouldn't be a hard requirement.
