Remove more activation support code #1024

Closed sirosen closed 3 weeks ago

sirosen commented 3 weeks ago

This was flagged by a conversation about some trailing 'activation' text in another context. Upon review, we still have some vestiges of activation support.

Because globus endpoint is-activated, in particular, may be in use in long-standing scripts, these commands are given some extra deference. They are already marked deprecated and hidden from help text and docs, but now they have their original functions replaced with an echo to stderr with a warning about upcoming removal. This is even gentler than a removal (or, equivalently, a usage error), and precedes a likely upcoming release in which these commands will be outright removed.
