Change guidance on 13.0 deprecations to V5

John Hope requested to merge jh-change-api-deprecation-v5 into master

What does this MR do?

We don't make breaking changes to the API in major releases of GitLab (i.e. %13.0) but reserve them for new releases of the API (i.e. version 5). As a result we'll defer #35157 (comment 330978617) and the guidance in the API docs should reflect that.

Author's checklist (required)

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
