The following machines/meta-layers seem to still be relying on phosphor-webui.
Is anyone signed up to either switch these to webui-vue or do the bbappend?

```
meta-hpe/meta-common/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-hpe-apps.bb:        phosphor-webui \
meta-hpe/meta-common/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-obmc-apps.bbappend:                           phosphor-webui \
meta-ibm/meta-palmetto/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-obmc-apps.bbappend:RDEPENDS:${PN}-inventory:append:palmetto = " openpower-occ-control phosphor-webui"
meta-ibm/meta-romulus/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-obmc-apps.bbappend:RDEPENDS:${PN}-extras:append:romulus = " phosphor-webui phosphor-image-signing"
meta-ibm/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-obmc-apps.bbappend:RDEPENDS:${PN}-extras:append:ibm-ac-server = " ${POWER_SERVICE_PACKAGES_AC_SERVER} witherspoon-power-supply-sync phosphor-webui"
meta-ibm/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-obmc-apps.bbappend:RDEPENDS:${PN}-extras:append:mihawk = " phosphor-webui phosphor-image-signing wistron-ipmi-oem ${POWER_SERVICE_PACKAGES_AC_SERVER}"
meta-ibm/recipes-phosphor/packagegroups/packagegroup-obmc-apps.bbappend:RDEPENDS:${PN}-extras:remove:witherspoon-tacoma = "obmc-ikvm liberation-fonts uart-render-controller phosphor-webui"
meta-inspur/meta-on5263m5/recipes-inspur/packagegroups/packagegroup-inspur-apps.bb:        phosphor-webui \
meta-intel-openbmc/meta-common/recipes-intel/packagegroups/packagegroup-intel-apps.bb:        phosphor-webui \
meta-lenovo/meta-common/recipes-lenovo/packagegroups/packagegroup-lenovo-apps.bb:        phosphor-webui \
meta-quanta/meta-olympus-nuvoton/recipes-olympus-nuvoton/packagegroups/packagegroup-olympus-nuvoton-apps.bb:        phosphor-webui \
meta-supermicro/meta-common/recipes-supermicro/packagegroups/packagegroup-supermicro-apps.bb:        phosphor-webui \
```

Romulus and Palmetto at least are ones we utilize in CI.

Is whatever hardware testing we do on Witherspoon now moved over to the Redfish
APIs?  Everything in openbmc-test-automation.
