Description

The plugin gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms is referencing the deprecated package for the decap-cms-app.

Netlify CMS has become Decap CMS, and as such Netlify is no longer the maintainer and many of the core package names have been updated to reflect this.

The gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms does not list netlify-cms-app as a dependency, although it requires it to be installed by importing it in code. If the user does install netlify-cms-app, they will be receiving version 2.15.72, which is out of date with the now maintained decap-cms-app package which is currently on version 3.0.7.

Therefore I plan to open the following Pull Request: adding a deprecation note to the README of gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms, and essentially cloning it to a new package in the Gatsby monorepo titled gatsby-plugin-decap-cms, which updates the reference to the decap core packages correctly.
