Don't use namespaced extensions in recipe.yml files

Problem/Motivation

Namespaced module support was partially added in #3311111: Support modern syntax for defining module dependencies however, this doesn't make sense in the recipe ecosystem as it is only dealing with machine named modules as well as the recipe is responsible for providing dependencies via composer in which case there should be no question of which module the recipe is asking for

This was first raised in this discussion in slack: https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C2THUBAVA/p1723054423359969
Later, the discussion continued in another slack thread (https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C2THUBAVA/p1723126247262499)

Ultimately, it was decided that recipes do not need to use the namespaced variant and it should be removed and not referenced in any documents to prevent issues / confusion.

Namespaced extension name example: drupal:node
Normal extension name (recommended in recipe.yml files) example: node

Proposed resolution

Remove any reference to namespaced extension names in recipe.yml files or other recipe documentation. Essentially reverting the change in #3311111: Support modern syntax for defining module dependencies
