Summary

This PR can be summarized in the following changelog entries:

  • Removes all uses of meta keywords throughout the plugin.
  • Removes the "noindex subpages" feature as Google has gotten much better at paginated series, and it's now actually detrimental to use.
  • Because both features above are removed, removes the "Other" tab from the Titles & Metas settings screen.

Relevant technical choices:

  • Deprecated the class-frontend function for meta keywords.
  • Added an upgrade function for 6.3 that removes the related settings from the wpseo_titles option.

Test instructions

This PR can be tested by following these steps:

  • Meta keywords should be gone everywhere.
  • Noindex subpages feature is gone.
  • Related options in the wpseo_titles option should be gone, if the upgrade routine has run (for which you have to set your version to 6.3).

Quality assurance

  • I have tested this code to the best of my abilities

Fixes: #8753
Fixes: #8709
