5.0 Release Requirements

[jeffkala]

Deprecation

• Deprecate old OnboardingTask job and all dependent code
• Delete all references to old code from documentation site

New Features

• Clean up migrations
• Add settings via installed app (gear) icon to set defaults for jobs.

Other

• Figure out a better pattern for optional sync'ing of features. (only interfaces, only vlans, mix n match etc.)

... add more as comments!

Additional ideas

• Ability to add SSH keys directly into nautobot secrets and have onboarding app connection those (instead of having to tweak configuration settings at all or lay any files on disk). This saves time from having operators having to manually manipulate ssh key files on the workers. I see that an in-memory key is supported in the underlying paramiko library but it isn't 100% clear at first glance whether we'd have to raise a PR for netmiko to support this.
• Add basic integration tests to the repo for future proofing. fakenos was mentioned as a potential solution here (instead of using something heavier like containerlab)
