Title:
  Deprecate SOAP support

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  While working through PHPStan issues I found that the SOAP
  implementation should have been reliably throwing errors. The lack of
  issues in this area suggests that this is not being used at all.

  Rather than supporting what is now quite old code we should just
  deprecate it and remove it from the codebase.

  The area that drew this to my attention is here:

  https://git.mahara.org/mahara/mahara/-/blob/main/htdocs/lib/mahara.php#L2640

  $wsseSoapClient = new webservice_soap_client_wsse(
    array($client, '_doRequest'),
    $client->wsdlfile,
    $client->getOptions()
  );

  The first parameter, which should declare our request, is unused in webservice_soap_client_wsse()
  The third parameter is unused also. In the webservice_soap_client_wsse() class there is a private $options, but this is never set.

  Also, webservice_soap_client(), which gives us $client, has no
  getOptions() method so this should also be erroring out loudly.
