Review workflow documentation

[archaeogeek]

This page is blank: https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/trunk/en/user-guide/workflow/versioning.html but the whole Workflow section at https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/trunk/en/user-guide/workflow/index.html probably needs updating

@fxprunayre is versioning deprecated in 4.0.x onwards? (The code seems to suggest it is)

When we speak about versioning there is various topics. Now 3.12 or 4.x are mainly relying on database status when history is enabled from the settings (http://localhost:8080/srv/eng/admin.console?debug#/dashboard/versioning).

But we still have some SVN support (probably unused?) but still partially working - yesterday testing geonetwork/core-geonetwork#7017 the subversion repository is still created but the Jeeves API looks broken - so probably something to cleanup.

Indeed- this is specifically checking SVN rather than the newer workflow history I think. In 3.10.x there is a blue javascript message present in admin console -> statistics and status -> versioning when SVN is not enabled (though I didn't check what happens when I enable it because that particular system is live) but in 4.2.x the message seems to be hidden when SVN is enabled but no events seem to be recorded.

I'm in favour of marking SVN support as deprecated and focusing more on Workflow- what do you think?

I was also discussing yesterday with @josegar74 and @juanluisrp to drop SVN specific code.
