SG-44793 Remove .tkdeploy: all exclusions are now global defaults

[julien-lang]

Problem

tk-core was shipping CI/dev-only files (.coveragerc, .flake8, .pre-commit-config.yaml, azure-pipelines.yml, build_resources.yml, codecov.yml, tests/, docs/) to App Store installs because the .tkdeploy exclusion list was never kept up to date.

Changes

The common CI/dev exclusions have been added as global defaults to the App Store publish tooling. All exclusions that were in this repo's .tkdeploy are now covered by those global defaults, so the file is no longer needed and has been deleted.
The legacy stale entries (.travis.yml, appveyor.yml, .hound.yml) were also removed — they referred to CI tooling no longer used by any Toolkit repo.

Note: these .tkdeploy changes take effect only once the corresponding upstream tooling change is merged.

Testing

Confirmed all previously listed exclusions are covered by the new global defaults.

Pull request overview

Removes the repository-specific .tkdeploy packaging exclusion list, relying instead on new global default exclusions in the App Store publish tooling so CI/dev-only files aren’t shipped in App Store installs.

Changes:

• Deleted .tkdeploy since its exclusions are intended to be covered by upstream global defaults.
• Dropped legacy/stale exclusion entries that no longer apply (per PR description).

Suppressed comments (1)

.tkdeploy:1

• Deleting .tkdeploy changes packaging behavior immediately for any environments still using the pre-upstream version of the App Store publish tooling. Until the upstream change is merged and released everywhere that publishes tk-core, this can reintroduce shipping CI/dev files (tests/docs/etc.) to the App Store.

Consider keeping .tkdeploy (even if minimal) until the upstream defaults are deployed, or add a safeguard in the release/publish pipeline to ensure the new tooling version is in use before publishing this repo.

Some of these i.e. .travis.yml and appveyor.yml are not in the global exclusions list - I'm assuming they are no longer files that exist and this was intentional.

@stevelittlefish correct! They are no longer any files in TK repositories matching these names.
