[6.0] Remove chosen

[dgrammatiko]

Pull Request for Issue # .

Summary of Changes

• Remove the really outdated (and not used since 4.0) chosen.js
• Remove the old Tags scripts that used it
• cleanup the build tools
• Cleanup serachtools and the cassiopeia references to chosen js and css

Testing Instructions

Chosen is not used anywhere in the J4/5 so just checking that the filters in the list view of articles still works is a successful test (the filters had some code removed)

Remove the old Tags scripts that used it

where

[dgrammatiko]

@brianteeman I guess my comment is confusing, I mean there are 2 files (build/media_source/legacy/js/ajax-chosen.es5.js, build/media_source/legacy/js/joomla-chosen.es5.js) that depend on chosen and these are removed. Joomla 4+ doesn't use anywhere chosen thus chosen and the 2 files are removed. Also cleaned up any scripts that had chosen references

[brianteeman]

I assumed you referred to \build\media_source\system\js\fields\tag.es5.js which appears to use chosen and is not touched by this PR

[dgrammatiko]

I assumed you referred to \build\media_source\system\js\fields\tag.es5.js

That's the other part of the J3 tags that obviously I missed! Thanks

Thank you to all involved, good job

@dgrammatiko @Fedik Can the media/vendor/chosen folder be removed on update? Or do we have to keep it? Am asking because working on the deleted files and folders lists in script.php.

[brianteeman]

@richard67 not only "can it" but "it must be removed" otherwise we are leaving files behind that might be exposed as being vulnerable in the future and we wouldnt do anything about it because we wouldnt know

[dgrammatiko]

We should delete it

[richard67]

For deleting obsolete files and folders on update see #45928 .

[ramalama]

The removal is not complete and not documented in migrations docs. See https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/46526
