Description

In wt:Metrics_Platform/Decision_Records/Deprioritize_Custom_Data, Data Products decided to move away from the monoschema approach. In order to avoid confusion on the part of our customers and accumulating technical debt, we should deprecate and remove MetricsClient#dispatch() and mw.eventLog.dispatch().

Acceptance Criteria

MetricsClient#dispatch() and mw.eventLog.dispatch() are marked as deprecated
All instances of mw.eventLog.dispatch() are removed
MetricsClient#dispatch() and mw.eventLog.dispatch() are removed (see T354822, T354823)
Any streams that were submitted to by mw.eventLog.dispatch() and associated datasets are marked as deprecated in DataHub
On-wiki mentions of mw.eventLog.dispatch() are removed
