[server.rqlannotation] refactor to make class SQLGenAnnotator consistent _annotate_select() takes SQLGenAnnotator as a first argument and is not used anywhere except in SQLGenAnnotator. This looks like a method to me. Let us fold it into its class.

Drop most of deprecated code As in previous changesets, most code has been deprecated since a very long time. This changeset concerns "core" cubicweb modules (e.g. "server", "appobjects") for which it's not easy to handle change atomically. In cubicweb/server/querier.py, we adjust empty_rset() function as a result of "rqlst" argument of ResultSet being dropped. (There was no use of the keyword argument anyways.)

Drop deprecated code in cubicweb.hooks Changelog entry will come in a later changeset.

Drop deprecated code in cubicweb.entities Also dropped an unused import along the way. Changelog entry will come in a later changeset.

Drop deprecated code in cubicweb.devtools Changelog entry will come in a later changeset.

Drop deprecated code in cubicweb.dataimport We actually drop *most* of deprecated code in this subpackage. What's left is the MetaGenerator class in (cubicweb/dataimport/stores.py) which is tricky to remove as it's still internally used by cubicweb. Changelog entry will come in a later changeset.

Drop most deprecated code in cubicweb.web This includes both Python and JavaScript code. Most code has been deprecated since a very long time (versions 3.1x mostly, more than 5 years ago, and a few things until 3.24). There are still a few deprecated things, most of which are actually used within cubicweb (or in cubes we depend on for tests). I don't know what to do with these... Removed a couple of unused imports along the way. Changelog entry will come in a later changeset.

[web] use Separator "component" instead of deprecated BoxSeparator widget

Flake8 cubicweb/web/box.py

[test] Remove upper bound for cubicweb-localperms Version 0.4.0 does not use a deprecated API that we are planning to drop in forthcoming changesets. This requires changing expected values in unittest_cwconfig.py where we scan install cubes. * In CubicWebConfigurationTC.test_available_cubes(), localperms disappears from the list of expected cubes because this test method will look for new style cubes in located in cubicweb/test/data/libpython/ (we patch pkg_resources.iter_entry_points()) as well as old style cubes installed in $PREFIX/share/cubicweb/cubes; since the new cubicweb-localperms version is new-style, it won't be catched by this method. * In CubicWebConfigurationWithLegacyCubesTC.test_available_cubes(), localperms is still listed, but now with the package name, because this method will simply look at installed cubes whether old or new style.
