Deprecate and spin down net-http01

[dprotaso]

In the last Serving WG meeting we've decided to spin down the net-http01 integration.

We're announcing deprecation which means v1.12 will be the last release of net-http01. We continue to support the v1.11 and v1.12 release of this repo until they EOL.

I've updated the timeline to say we're supporting net-http01 until v1.12 goes EOL.

Otherwise if we waited two releases for the notice and then waited until those releases EOL we'd be supporting this component for another year. Given that no one said they it I don't think that's necessary support for that long.

We need to update v1.12 release note, which was already published? https://github.com/knative/docs/pull/5761/files#diff-12992d159bc1329670548661400eea0c1c297f55cdee53f2d2b0855e367f3743

I would like to avoid the change of previous release note as much as possible but I'll defer the decision to @dprotaso @ReToCode and @skonto

Hm as nobody responded to be using it, I'd also vote not not release it for 1.13, as Dave also sent an email about it. I think it should be fine to update the past release notes, if the hint is formatted to be really visible.

I'll update the release notes

[dprotaso]

All the current work is done - moving to v1.15 milestone. After v1.14 is cut 1.12 is EOL so we should do the remaining work.
