Drop the Continuous Verification product category
Initially, we planned to move Continuous Verification to the Deploy stage / Environments group (previously: Relese stage). Given the re-orgs, it was discussed to deprecate and removed the category instead.
Our current continuous verification is very-very minimal. The only feature designed for it was the environment.action.prepare
CI syntax. We do not want to deprecate any functionality as part of this change. Only the category will be removed.
Existing functionality will be migrated under other related categories, like "Continuous Delivery", "Deployment management" and "Environment management".
