V10: Initial rework (#1759)

* Remove calls to require deprecator that isn't needed

* External programs that wanted to track available and invoked step definitions now no longer can - Initial removal

* Fix ordering of class methods in registry and more file

* Mark step definition light as ready for deletion

* Curl Option parser is now package private

* Remove webrick alias that is no longer needed

* Remove tag expression sanitization completely. Proper tag expression syntax is now mandatory

* Remove a TODO from the generic rubocop config

* Deprecate use_legacy_autoloader

* Convert 2 snippets to use heredocs

* Fix up snippet generation specs to use the #comment method instead of joining up strings

* Remove #append_comment_to

* Deprecate text? boolean checker in multiline arguments

* Fix deprecator requirement

* Remove scriipts dir

* Update cucumber dependencies

* Minor rubocop tidy

* Update changelog

* Update all dev dependencies aside from rubocop/rubocop-rspec

* Bump of runtime dependencies to permit latest

* Fix ref to unskippable action from core update

* Fix up references to defined action from core

* Permit latest gherkin this end

* Permit the next 2 majors for messages - 1 for codegen/dotnet and the next also won't have any major ruby changes

* Bump CCK to latest version - issues to arise

* Regenerate the TODO file

* Add v10 upgrading doc

* Upgrade cucumber core to latest and remove the dependency on messages/gherkin as we will lean on the core library for these dependency requirements

* Update upgrading docs to reflect change to core being controlling of more requirements

* Update all rubocop gems to latest version to remove bugs and re-generate TODO

* Remove unrequired hook deprecation

* Fix up latent references to old time conversion and id generator classes

* Fix CCK test helper from finding incorrect path for ndjson serializer/deserializer

* The CCK expects a folder structure for each CCK feature - so we can add a blank dummy one for the empty feature

* Improve CCK comments about ignorability of tests

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -13,12 +13,24 @@ Please visit [cucumber/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/blo
 - Added dependencies that will no longer be part of the ruby stdlib ([jeromeag](https://github.com/jerome))
 - Updated `cucumber-compatibility-kit` to v16 ([luke-hill](https://github.com/luke-hill))
 - Changed compatibility testing to fully lean on external assets instead of duplicating them ([luke-hill](https://github.com/luke-hill))
+- Permit usage of latest versions of all cucumber internal gems
+- The auto-generation of all placeholder `pending` steps has been refactored (_There should be no visible changes
+but the code is now refactored to work using newer ruby standards_)
+- The `#text?` method for checking Differences in multi-line text is now deprecated (Users
+should lean on an appropriate testing library for this)
+- `Cucumber.use_legacy_autoloader` that was intended as a stop-gap for v4/v5 is now deprecated (People
+that need to rely on procedural loading / reloading of files should use method invocations) ([luke-hill](https://github.com/luke-hill))
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed an issue where a change to one example in compatibility testing wasn't fully adhered to ([luke-hill](https://github.com/luke-hill))
 - Fixed an issue for Ruby 3.4.0 where a default hash instantiation was being picked up as keyword arguments  ([Jon Rowe](https://github.com/JonRowe))
 
 ### Removed
+- `StepDefinitionLight` associated methods. The class itself is present but deprecated
+- `Webrick` Proc handling aliases that were long redundant
+- Associated legacy scripts for updating dependencies that are no longer used
+- Tag Expressions using legacy syntax that were handled / sanitized are no longer done so
+(This applies to both regular usage and internal testing)
 - Removed support for Ruby 2.7 ([luke-hill](https://github.com/luke-hill))
