Deprecate rhn_channel & rhn_register (#6493)

Browse source 
They are useful only with RHN, which Red Hat discontinued many years
ago, and with Spacewalk 5, which is EOL for more than 3 years;
while they could be potentially used with Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of
Spacewalk 5), we have not heard about anyone using it in those setups.

Hence, deprecate these two modules, with their removal planned for
10.0.0 in case there are no reports about being still useful, and
potentially noone that steps up to maintain them.

rhn_channel, rhn_register - RHN hosted at redhat.com was discontinued years
ago, and Spacewalk 5 (which uses RHN) is EOL since 2020, May 31st;
while these modules could work on Uyuni / SUSE Manager (fork of Spacewalk 5),
we have not heard about anyone using them in those setups. Hence, these
modules are deprecated, and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0
in case there are no reports about being still useful, and potentially
noone that steps up to maintain them
