This commit removes all module-specific and PDC (Product Definition Center)
related scripts and tooling that are no longer needed since:

Fedora retired module support after Fedora 39
PDC was retired after Fedora 40

MODULE-RELATED FILES REMOVED:

scripts/pdc/adjust-eol-modules.py: Script for adjusting End-of-Life dates
for modules and their branches. Used PDC client to patch module EOL dates.
scripts/branching/modulepkg.py: Utility to track modules containing specific
packages. Interacted with modulemd, PDC, and module source repositories.
scripts/stage-modular-release.sh: Script for staging modular releases to
/pub/fedora/linux/modular/releases/. Handled checksum signing and compose
copying for modular releases.
scripts/mbs/koji-module-info.py: Tool to find module information associated
with Koji builds. Queried Module Build Service (MBS) APIs.
scripts/mbs/: Entire directory removed as it only contained module scripts.

PDC-RELATED FILES REMOVED:

scripts/pdc/: Entire directory removed (11 files):
- adjust-eol-all.py: Bulk EOL adjustment for multiple packages
- adjust-eol.py: Individual package EOL adjustment
- create-branch.py: Manual branch creation in PDC
- create-new-release-branches.py: Automated release branch creation
- create-product-release.py: Product version and release creation
- create-product.py: New product creation in PDC
- get-retired-packages.py: Query retired packages from PDC
- insert-sla.py: SLA insertion for components
- remove_prefixed_entries.py: Cleanup utility for PDC entries
- sync-branches-from-pkgdb.py: Legacy pkgdb to PDC synchronization
- utilities.py: Shared PDC utility functions
scripts/check-retired-branches-pdc.py: Script to verify consistency between
distgit retired packages and PDC active status
scripts/get-critpath: Tool to retrieve critical path packages from PDC
scripts/check-unretirement.py: Package unretirement helper that queries
PDC SLAs and contributor information

scripts/block_retired.py:

Remove get_retired_packages() function that queried PDC for retired packages
Remove PDC-related imports and constants (PRODUCTION_PDC, STAGING_PDC)
Update main logic to work without PDC dependency for retirement status
Remove --staging parameter references to PDC

scripts/critpath.py:

Remove reference to "uploading to PDC" in --source-rpm help text
Update help text to reflect current workflow

THINGS THAT I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK INTO:

Critical path package information should now be sourced from alternative
methods (Greenwave policies, direct Koji queries, or static lists)

BUT FINALLY:

Significantly reduces maintenance burden by removing 17+ obsolete scripts
Eliminates dependencies on retired services (PDC, MBS)

This cleanup ensures the releng tooling reflects the current state of Fedora
infrastructure without retired module and PDC support.

I want to do these before we migrate to Forgejo, and we just take the usable parts. I'll look into having a structured README also, but first I want to do some restructuring, etc.

This looks fine to me...

A few questions...

scripts/critpath.py:

Remove reference to "uploading to PDC" in --source-rpm help text
Update help text to reflect current workflow

I don't see these changes?

Critical path package information should now be sourced from alternativemethods (Greenwave policies, direct Koji queries, or static lists)

I don't see how that could work. We get the info from comps groups. I don't think we want to maintain a seperate static list, and none of the other things have that info...
