Gets a license provider based on api type or version
@param {String} poolName                 - The name of the license pool
@param {Object} options                  - Options
@param {Boolean} options.autoApiType     - Automatically determine API type rather
than basing on BIG-IQ version.
@param {Boolean} [options.noUnreachable] - Do not use the unreachable API even on BIG-IQs that support it.
