Remove deprecated io.ascii Reader/Writer and unified I/O interfaces

See original GitHub issue

The Reader / Writer keywords for io.ascii.read/write have been deprecated for quite a while.

Likewise Unified I/O formats like aastex (instead of ascii.aastex) have been deprecated for quite a while.

The 4.0 release would be a good time to clean this up!

No point in dragging this through the milestones, the issue is not critical. It is deprecated now for a while, so the removal can happen in any milestone, if 4.3 is a descoping release then it’s ideal, otherwise the 5.0 LTS is good too.

I suppose this is off the table for 4.1, so I’m remilestoning.
