Netlify Identity no longer recommended

[J2thearo]

Netlify Support has informed me that Netlify Identity is no longer recommend and will not be supported at this time. I just wanted to let you know about this because you planned to integrate Identity better.

Thanks for letting me know! I can’t find any public announcement in their docs, forums, etc., but the Netlify Identity widget has been abandoned for a couple of years, so it’s probably time to move on. Now I need to develop both a Netlify Identity widget alternative and a Git Gateway alternative to recreate the Netlify CMS ecosystem 🤣

Updated the README to reflect the current situation.
