Prop 301: No longer vote on RecommendedPackages
This is the first half of implementing proposal 301. The RecommendedPackages torrc option is marked as obsolete and the test cases for the option removed. Additionally, the code relating to generating and formatting package lines in votes is removed. These lines may still appear in votes from other directory authorities running earlier versions of the code and so consensuses may still contain package lines. A new consensus method will be needed to stop including package lines in consensuses. Fixes: #28465
