1. mackup: deprecate …

   `mackup` works by moving config files to an
   off-disk backup location (usually a cloud storage
   provider like iCloud or Dropbox, etc.) and then
   replacing the original file with a symlink to the
   backed up version. The intended use is to make
   sure program configuration settings and
   preferences can be restored if you need to replace
   computers, factory reset, etc.
   
   As documented
   [here](lra/mackup#2035),
   [here](lra/mackup#1924),
   [here](lra/mackup#1969 (reply in thread)),
   `mackup backup` no longer works on MacOS Sonoma
   (likely due to [security
   changes](lra/mackup#1924 (comment))
   in the app sandbox in Sonoma) and running either
   the backup or restore commands on MacOS Sonoma
   will result in the loss of all preference files.
   Users who backup to a storage provider that has
   versioning or backup snapshots may be able to
   restore preferences to an older version. For users
   backing up to other storage providers that do not
   have this feature, such as iCloud, the command
   results in total data loss. This issue has been
   known to the developer for over a year but there
   is no fix, no mention of the issue in the project
   README, no warning when running the command, and
   no indication in the program output that the
   backup process may not have completed properly -
   neither in the dry-run mode nor in live mode.
