VOL-2920 - Remove NBI passthrough functions.

Modified the NBIHandler to reference device, logical device, and adapter managers as embedded types, allowing the managers to directly implement API functions, without the need for individual passthrough functions.
Also created a new event.Manager type, which is embedded in device.LogicalManager.
Also renamed device.NewDeviceManagers() to device.NewManagers().

Change-Id: I8455da79b991ee67cc16cf898b00b0c98ea97bcd
