Remove deprecated features

[misl6]

The initial plan for this issue was to remove any deprecation <=1.9.0, but that was scheduled for 2.3.0.

Since we entered in 3.0.0 milestone, we're now targeting any feature deprecated before or in 2.0.0, and if is a game-changer, also features deprecated in 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0 series.

For who is taking care of this issue, please add a detailed list of the removals as suggested by #8585

Ref: #8167

Hi @Zerus97 !

The best way is to search for .. deprecated:: into code 😀
