Units still using this in their descriptions will have the player-visible
header change from "Special Notes:" to "Special Notes (1.14-style, please
update to the new list format)".
The SPECIAL_NOTES macro was originally removed early in the 1.17 dev cycle.
That removal was reverted and postponed in the roadmap until Jan 2023, on the
grounds that it's a lot easier to test 1.17 when the big add-ons from 1.16 can
run on it.
In 1.16, UMC that hasn't upgraded yet already has a cosmetic bug - the help
pages of units still using the {SPECIAL_NOTES} macro will include duplicate
notes (assuming the expected usage of {SPECIAL_NOTES} as a heading in
[unit_type]description=, which is followed by old-style notes). These are minor
cosmetic bugs, which are expected to be removed as UMC gets updated.
That leaves the issue of what to do with the deprecated macro in 1.18. My
feeling is that we can easily continue to support the macro, albeit with the
cosmetic bug, so we should keep it for 1.18. However we could make it clearer
that the duplicated notes should be removed from the UMC.
This also removes some docs about NOTE_*s, those macros have already been
removed after being deprecated in 3568b5ff66ece00ec09f40059e552123f356d962.
