Contribution description
Both
gnrc_lwmacandgnrc_gomachas well as their common modulegnrc_macare effectively unmaintained (the last commit to these modules that wasn't a cleanup or adoption for API change was in 2017). So let's deprecate them and later on remove them. People requiring a MAC protocols can use OpenDSME as an alternative.Since I also had a look at the OpenDSME doc, I found a rendering issue there for which I piggybacked a fix.
Testing procedure
make docshould generate a documentation with those modules (and theirnettypeon the deprecated list. Building any application that uses those modules (e.g.examples/gnrc_networking_mac) should show a warning that deprecated modules are used.Issues/PRs references
