[Centos-automotive-sig] Deprecation of /latest build for AutoSD

Hi all,

We plan to remove the /latest build [1] in the AutoSD web server as part of
a simplification to our build artefacts.

Originally we were managing the AutoSD content with a gitops style workflow
and using a file in a git repository to pin the versions of packages we
would include in the yum repo. At that time, the /latest artefact reflected
the builds that were triggered on updates to that repository, giving it the
newest content possible. Since then we've refactored our pipelines to use
the more traditional koji tags to manage that content and shifted focus to
having a nightly build that reflects the latest content instead. The
/latest build was reduced to only being updated when changes occurred to
the pungi configuration which is an uncommon event.

As part of a recent refactoring on our side, we've deprecated the update
process for the /latest builds and the files are no longer updated starting
from the 24th of August, 2023. Since we do not see a need for it any
longer, we will be removing it by the 11th of September, 2023. We consider
the /nightly build [2] to be its replacement.

Should this be problematic for you, please let us know. Otherwise all you
likely have to do to migrate is change the url from [1] to [2].

Thanks for your understanding.

Kind regards,
Michael Ho
