Fetch user groups from API or deprecate it

Hi,

FYI, on https://kotlinlang.org/user-groups/user-group-list.html we've now got a map of KUGs, and they are also fetched through API: https://kotlinlang.org/data/user-groups.json.

awesome-kotlin maintains these files:

  • https://github.com/KotlinBy/awesome-kotlin/blob/a26de6e523829ac6f5851af7a62fb1129660ae04/src/main/resources/links/UserGroups.awesome.kts
  • https://github.com/KotlinBy/awesome-kotlin/blob/a26de6e523829ac6f5851af7a62fb1129660ae04/src/main/kotlin/link/kotlin/scripts/import/user-group-list.md

I recommend first considering if it makes sense to show KUGs on kotlin.link - it duplicates what the official Kotlin page shows. If there are still some reasons to keep it, I suggest using the API to avoid displaying outdated info and the operational burden to update it.

Nice, I think we continue displaying User Groups in https://github.com/KotlinBy/awesome-kotlin/milestone/1, but will utilize API instead of parsing markdown. Thanks for update!
