Deprecate MeanModelWorkflow in favor of OSPSuite.ReportingFramework

[Copilot]

MeanModelWorkflow is being deprecated and replaced by OSPSuite.ReportingFramework. Any attempt to instantiate the class now fails immediately with a clear error message directing users to the new framework.

Changes

• Deprecated MeanModelWorkflow: Modified the initialize method to throw an error immediately upon instantiation
• Migration guidance: Error message directs users to OSPSuite.ReportingFramework with a GitHub link
• Updated test coverage: Tests now verify the deprecation error is thrown correctly
• Skipped dependent tests: Added skip statements to test files that rely on MeanModelWorkflow functionality

The initialize method now stops execution immediately:

initialize = function(...) {
  stop(
    "MeanModelWorkflow is no longer available. ",
    "Please use OSPSuite.ReportingFramework instead. ",
    "For more information, visit: https://github.com/Open-Systems-Pharmacology/OSPSuite.ReportingFramework",
    call. = FALSE
  )
}

Impact

This is a breaking change. Users can no longer instantiate or use MeanModelWorkflow. All existing workflows using this class must be migrated to OSPSuite.ReportingFramework.

@copilot Thats not what I wanted. I want to have a stop as soon as possible if somebody tries to start the MeanModelWorkflow, with a message that this is not longer available, and a reference to OSPSuite.ReportingFramework.

Updated the implementation to deprecate MeanModelWorkflow instead of adding lifecycle management. The initialize method now throws an error immediately with a message directing users to OSPSuite.ReportingFramework.

Changes in commit 2f1b1b9:

• Modified initialize to throw deprecation error with reference to OSPSuite.ReportingFramework
• Updated tests to expect the error message
• Added skip statements to test files that rely on MeanModelWorkflow functionality
