Deprecate moveit_metapackages repo

[130s]

• For Indigo, multiple repos host metapackages for MoveIt! core libraries.
  • moveit in moveit repo.
  • moveit_full/_pr2 in moveit_metapackages repo.
• For Jade onward, we won't release moveit_full/_pr2 metapackages Release *-moveit-full metapackage  moveit_ros#692 (comment)

Why not deprecate this repo and move all existing metapackages to indigo-devel branch on moveit repo?

Moving metapackages into moveit repo can also prevent release maintainers from working on two different releases.

Steps to be made:

1. Merge existing PR (currently only Add moveit_runtime metapkg #10)
2. Import all the existing metapackages on this repo into the top level dir of moveit repo. --> I [Indigo] Move metapackages from moveit_metapackage repo. moveit#422, JK [Jade] Move a metapackage moveit_runtime from moveit_metapackage repo. moveit#436
3. Deprecate notice for this repo (well actually deprecated notice is already posted at the top page of this repo).
4. Open a new PR on rosdistro to move all the existing metapackages into the entry that is rooted on moveit repo. --> [Indigo][moveit] Add/update metapackages. ros/rosdistro#13767 --> NG. Need to bloom Deprecate moveit_metapackages repo #11 (comment)

Sounds reasonable enough. +1 if it simplifies the release process.
I'm not yet convinced boiling down everything into one meta-package only is a wise decision.
At least it looks like we'll have another robot-specific package again in the future. ;)

+1 to more repo consolidation into moveit :)

I may have given you a wrong impression? My suggestion for meta packages and their location looks like the following:

moveit repo
|- moveit
|- moveit_full
|- moveit_full_pr2
|- (moveit_runtime once #10 merged)
|- (more if needed)
:
|- moveit_commander
|- (other non-meta packages)

That's fine. Feel free to go ahead with this when you get around to do so..

As I left comment in the linked PR, I need to run bloom to complete moving the packages to another repo, which I'll work on shortly.
