Deprecate sentry settings for Sentry

Background

As part of our work at the Frontend Observability Working Group we have set up a new self-hosted Sentry instance at https://new-sentry.gitlab.net/ to replace https://sentry.gitlab.net/.

Our old Sentry instance is no-longer maintained.

As part of our upgrade, we have installed new versions of the Sentry SDKs that are compatible with the new version of Sentry. Those SDKs are not backwards compatible.

Proposal

Issue a deprecation notice that the GitLab Sentry integration will no-longer work with older versions of sentry due to the upgraded sentry-browser package. Unfortunately, it's really not clear which self-hosted versions of sentry work with which sentry/browser packages. The best I can find is a thread on the forum that confirms that certain versions don't play nice an that there's no compatibility table for it 🤷
