These deprecation notices were introduced into the codebase 6 years ago (April 16th, 2020 5:56 PM) e5ed02d

There have been many Buildstream versions since then, a search in the Buildstream codebase shows they are unused, so it's about time they are removed.

Unfortunately, this is part of the public plugin API where we guarantee stability across stable releases. We failed to remove it before 2.0. And some plugins in buildstream-plugins-community are even still using it, should probably fix that.

So this PR is a candidate for 3.0 assuming we sort the buildstream community plugins for it. Do you know if there's an issue to track this?
