[Broken] metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org XML

Broken XML scraper - metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org-3.5.xx

This scraper has been broken for well over a year.

@olympia and I discussed the status of the XML scrapers at length and we agreed it best to remove the scraper from the repo as olympia did not have the time to maintain it anymore. The only scraper he is interested in maintaining is UMS. It was also discussed that these XML scraper should be removed from Leia and later. This was done on 4 July 2022.

Krypton and earlier versions should still retain the scraper, otherwise those versions will no longer have a scraper, though I no longer agree with this as the scrapers are broken. No scraper, or broken scraper... no difference...

The problem... Rather than marking the scraper as broken as is normal, olympia chose to delete the code in Leia scraper branch of Github.... https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scrapers/tree/leia

Unfortunately, this has left the scraper orphaned and still available in the repo for all branches from Leia to Nexus. (see links below) Omega branch has an error and is making available a Gotham version of the scraper.

The fix Delete the scraper from the mirrors. I don't remember who can do this. Is it @enen92 ?
