deprecated Parser.parseToQuantityValue()

[franklbh]

Deprecating Parser.parseToQuantityValue(), which will be marked as deprecated in version 4.10. The existing method Parser.parseQuantityString() should be used as a replacement.

Reason for Deprecation: The method Parser.parseQuantityString() is more appropriate for handling quantity parsing and is already in use in multiple places, such as:

• In presentation-components: UseQuantityValueInput (via ParserSpec).
• In core-frontend: Through quantityFormatter in tools like Accudraw.
• In ecschema-metadata: Used in bearing tests.
• In imodel-components-react: QuantityInput and QuantityNumberInput.

The method Parser.parseToQuantityValue() is used sparingly in:

• Appui's test.
• core-frontend's test.

Given that the system has already moved to using Parser.parseQuantityString() in most cases, removing Parser.parseToQuantityValue() is reasonable.

Please explain why this method will be deprecated

[hl662]

The replacement for the method you are deprecating already exists, it would not be something new introduced into 4.10. Do you instead mean Parser.parseToQuantityValue() method will be deprecated in 4.10? Please update your PR description to reflect this.
