• refactor!: drop Appium FindsBy* iterfaces

BREAKING CHANGE:

• drop Appium FindsBy* iterfaces in the same way it was done in Selenium java client. The removed intefraces are: io.appium.java_client.FindsByAccessibilityId, io.appium.java_client.FindsByAndroidDataMatcher, io.appium.java_client.FindsByAndroidUIAutomator, io.appium.java_client.FindsByAndroidViewMatcher, io.appium.java_client.FindsByAndroidViewTag, io.appium.java_client.FindsByCustom, io.appium.java_client.FindsByFluentSelector, io.appium.java_client.FindsByImage, io.appium.java_client.FindsByIosClassChain, io.appium.java_client.FindsByIosNSPredicate, io.appium.java_client.FindsByWindowsAutomation, io.appium.java_client.mac.FindsByClassChain, io.appium.java_client.mac.FindsByNsPredicate
• remove methods findElements(String by, String using) and findElement(String by, String using) from io.appium.java_client.DefaultGenericMobileDriver and io.appium.java_client.DefaultGenericMobileElement because the originals of these methods are deprecated in Selenium RemoteWebDriver and RemoteWebElement and throw UnsupportedOperationException
• remove io.appium.java_client.MobileSelector as it's used once, the string values from the enum are inlined in io.appium.java_client.MobileBy.java

• fix: introduce MobileBy.className

The change made in Selenium 4 (SeleniumHQ/selenium@0aaa401#r58091435)
broke Appium class name selector strategy. The workaround was implemented: MobileBy#className.

• refactor!: drop deprecated method AppiumDriver#substituteMobilePlatform

BREAKING CHANGE: drop deprecated method io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver#substituteMobilePlatform
