[deprecation] Metabase helper cscli dashboard

[LaurenceJJones]

Whilst cscli dashboard has served it purposes as an initial dashboard for CrowdSec data in the early days, we have kind off let the code and implementation go stale and hence issues that arise with CVE's that are reported to the upstream metabase image.

Here are the current issues:

• User may not understand the line between metabase and crowdsec support so may backlog support with unrelated requests
• User may not maintain the version control and as off 1.5 we exposed the versioning string parameter because of the CVE couple of months back
• Code is old and bloats cscli binary and is not proactively maintained by us

Solution we offer:

So we purpose that we deprecate the implementation within the cscli binary (less code, less maintenance for the team) and offer a replacement such as a bash script that users can download externally and run the same commands. So we dont completely hinder the community by revoking all access but we improve the experience we can offer without being tied directly to a crowdsec version.

Adding a vague milestone of 1.7.0 as we have no current timeline plans on when this will happen but will be aimed at next milestone

[LaurenceJJones]

For those wanting to track the progress of the bash script I have started a repository here

I havent defined the main topics yet but my aim to have a script that serves docker and podman without needing root permissions or sudo when needed

let me know the final URL of the script/documentation and I'll update the PR
