Make v2 release stable

[yhatt]

We have recognized that Marp users who use GUI are including a lot of beginners and non-developers, so we think we should provide enough window time for them to review breaking changes.

We have taken enough transition period about half year, and ready to make stable v2 release. The next minor release v2.4.0 will be a first stable release of v2.
