This removes AutoRest after the deprecation window by deleting it as a supported generator everywhere it was still wired in: core/CLI code paths, IDE integrations, validation assets, generated-code fixtures, and user-facing documentation. The remaining surfaces now consistently present NSwag, OpenAPI Generator, Swagger Codegen, Kiota, Refitter, and the migration guide for former AutoRest users.
