Dismantle code which supported drush make distribution packaging

The end of an era. 😉 Thanks for cleaning up the mess I helped create. 😅

Somehow Features is detecting drupalorg_forum as depending on this, unless the taxonomyextra field instance & base are removed. Since that field is leftover from a migration years ago, removing it is easier than figuring out why.

Before removing the API & data for the packaging allowlist, we should make sure it is not updated. We can remove the Packaging whitelist maintainer role. For posterity, people with the role were:

• https://www.drupal.org/u/gisle →
• https://www.drupal.org/u/shawn-dearmond →
• https://www.drupal.org/u/kreynen →

No packaging allowlist entries have been updated in the past year.

The packaging allowlist is now gone. The last piece is the “Releases missing security updates” display of the drupalorg_project_downloads View. That should no longer be needed.

I think the best thing to do is remove “Releases missing security updates.” It may be possible to simplify more in project_release_compute_update_status() and the other displays of the project downloads, but I don’t think that would be worthwhile now.

The only releases made in 2022 or later that will be removed from project pages are:

• openfed 7.x-2.44
• real_estate_lp_profile 8.x-1.0-alpha2
• responsive_blog_theme_installation_profile 7.x-1.4
• openatrium 7.x-2.652
• guardr 7.x-2.57

Query for the others: SELECT n.nid, n.title, from_unixtime(n.created) FROM node n INNER JOIN field_data_field_release_update_status fdf_rus ON fdf_rus.entity_id = n.nid AND field_release_update_status_value > 1 INNER JOIN project_release_supported_versions prsv ON prsv.recommended_release = n.nid AND prsv.supported = 1 INNER JOIN field_data_field_release_category fdf_rc ON fdf_rc.entity_id = n.nid AND fdf_rc.field_release_category_value IN ('current', 'legacy') INNER JOIN field_data_field_release_build_type fdf_rbt ON fdf_rbt.entity_id = n.nid AND fdf_rbt.field_release_build_type_value = 'static';
