📋 Allow a release to be marked deprecated within the Control Panel

[michaeljcollinsuk]

Describe the sub-task.

Add a checkbox to the Tool release update form that lets us mark a release as deprecated. Alternatively, add a deprecation date field, after which the tool is treated as deprecated.

Deprecated releases then should no longer appear as an option to deploy from within the control panel.

In addition, if a user currently has a "deprecated" tool deployed, disable the "Open" button on the control panel, in order to encourage users to upgrade to a new version.

We can also show a message to users, explaining that the tool version they were using was deprecated and they now need to upgrade.

Steps to Address

• Implement code changes
• Implement unit tests
• Run through the changes in development

UPDATE:

• Draft PR open here which includes changes to models and returned querysets when on the Your Tools page
• The "OPEN" button will be disabled if the tool has been retired

TODO:

• Currently working on a way to only show the deprecated message when a deprecated tool has been selected from the list

UPDATE

Making final changes to the release list admin page filter, to give the option of including or excluding retired releases.
I am also looking at adding a status tag using the GovUK Tag component
