[feature] Conan v2: Get back the `self.info.header_only()`

See original GitHub issue

I think that the header_only() name is more concise and declarative than self.info.clear(), so consider to get back this method.

Ref for docs: https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/migrating_to_2.0/recipes.html#the-package-id-method

I’ve read the CONTRIBUTING guide.

yes, about 50% of recipes (around 230 out of 460) in conan-center-index have been already updated to self.info.clear()

@leha-bot thanks a lot for the suggestion, I’m closing this as I also think that we should keep the self.info.clear() that is more generic.
