pack-redundant: escalate deprecation warning to an error
In c3b5847 (pack-redundant: gauge the usage before proposing its removal, 2020-08-25), we added a big, ugly warning when pack-redundant is run. The plan there indicated that we would ratchet that up to an error before finally removing it. Since it has been 2.5 years (and 9 releases) since then, let's continue with the plan. Note that we did get one bite on the warning, which was somebody asking about alternatives: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAKvOHKAFXQwt4D8yUCCkf_TQL79mYaJ=KAKhtpDNTvHJFuX1NA@mail.gmail.com/ but we didn't undo the ugly warning (and the advice continues to be "use repack -d" instead). There was also some discussion around the time of the deprecation that pack-redundant was invoked by the bitbake tool, and it still seems to do so now: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake That use should probably just go away in favor of an occasional repack (which probably even happens via auto-gc after fetch these days). But since neither of those data points caused us to cancel the deprecation plan by dropping the warning, it seems like we should proceed with the next step.
