Archived (unsupported) packages - `JSONStream`, `leveldown` & `q`

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

The following source repos are archived, therefore it is no longer possible to report issues or to expect fixes. This means that they are unsupported and cannot fulfil the Hard Requirements

The maintainers of the module remain responsive when there are problems

"responsive" would imply "able to provide fixes"

Archived repos:

https://github.com/dominictarr/JSONStream archived Dec 4, 2018
https://github.com/Level/leveldown archived Dec 1, 2024
https://github.com/kriskowal/q archived Jan 22, 2025

This is not an exhaustive list of packages based on archived repos. They are just amongst the list of failing citgm tests.

Suggestion

I submitted #1114 to remove JSONStream. If this is good, then I would follow up with other PRs to remove the other deprecated / archived packages.
