Remove some badges documentation. Badges have been removed from crates.io, so this updates the documentation. I don't think Cargo should manage a schema for the different services, and since crates.io isn't using these, I think it is mostly a dead feature. I left the `maintenance` field, because that might still have some meaning in the future. More details: * Removal from crates.io: rust-lang/crates.io#2436 rust-lang/crates.io#2440 * Solicited feedback for this change: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/cargo-badges/12982 * Potential future support of `maintenance` status: rust-lang/crates.io#2437 rust-lang/crates.io#2438 rust-lang/crates.io#2439. It's not clear, if crates.io manages the status in the database, the motivation for putting it in `Cargo.toml` is probably pretty small.

Maybe the status could be stored in the registry? It could be updated similarly to the |

unfortunately, yes. unless someone steps up and implements it I don't see this moving forward currently. |

Currently the "Maintenance Status" of a crate/version is hardcoded in the
Cargo.tomlfile. If a crate is no longer maintained it is easy for this status to become outdated though, since a new release would be needed to update the status. We are aiming to simplify setting this status for the maintainer, but keeping it as a field on thecrateresource directly in the API, and exposed in the crates.io dashboard for the maintainers to change.What follows is the rough list of tasks that need to be done to achieve this goal:
