Remove cisco.asa from community package

The decision to remove the collection from the Ansible Community Package has nothing to do with Cisco supporting ASA or not. We’ll remove the collection because we have been informed that the collection is deprecated.

As long as the maintainers of the collection don’t change their mind, or someone else steps up to maintain the collection, I don’t think we will undo this. You’ll still be able to install the collection via ansible-galaxy, though, but I’m not really sure if it’s a good idea to depend on deprecated software…

I suggest to not spam multiple GitHub issues and forum threads with this, but discuss this in Deprecation Announcement for the cisco.asa Ansible Collection. At the end of the day, as long as the collection is deprecated I think we’ll keep to our decision to remove it from the Ansible community package (not galaxy!).
