Summary of Changes

This pull request (PR) finally deletes the js files and the asset which had once been deleted with PR's #38823 and #39374 and then added back with PR #39431 for b/c with old layout overrides.

It is a simple revert of PR #39431 in the 5.0-dev branch plus adding the deleted compiled and minified js files from the media folder on update, i.e. adding them to the deleted files list in "script.php".

The deprecated language strings used by the removed js will be removed with PR #40296 .

@HLeithner If you tell me where to add that. I have no idea.

@HLeithner And how shall that section be titled and look like? Shall it be "JS removals" and be like the "CSS removals" section? What do you expect?

I would expect something what you also find useful when you read this page ;-)

so something like the "CSS removals" would be a good start. including which webasset names are no longer available including the the path to the files and maybe the reason why it's no longer exists. (link to pr when it was removed the first time and that is is no longer used by joomla it self).

@HLeithner What about the language strings removal in PR #40296 ? Does that need to be added to the developer manual, too?

[HLeithner]

Actually yes, I added the deprecation for the language strings also the manual. So the removal have to be added too.

@HLeithner But that belongs to @brianteeman 's PR #40296 , so I think he should do that. Otherwise I will need again instructions on where to do that.
