Remove EOL and deprecated Wavefront module #7625
Description
Following up on #6328, it's time to consider removing the module. In general we would avoid doing that outside of a new major version, but given the EOL status of Wavefront, it is probably not disruptive to any users to remove this in a new minor that will release after a year of the Wavefront service being EOL.

@jasonberanek on #6328 you asked for a heads up. We'd like to move forward with removing this module in the next minor version. Let us know if you have any concerns. We aren't planning with this to remove it from maintenance releases, so people who still need it for some reason (we'd like to understand what reason) can still use maintenance releases of 1.17.x and other lines while they are supported.

If anyone else is still using the module for any reason, please let us know. Our working understanding is that no one should because the backend is dead, so switching to another Micrometer registry should be the migration path to something that isn't EOL.

I'd like to take this one if it's still open.
I had a look at what's involved — the module directory itself, plus references in
settings.gradle,docs/modules/ROOT/nav.adoc, thewavefront.adocdocs page, and three files undersamples/micrometer-samples-core.Two questions before I start:

@Sharawey74 thank you for the offer to help with this. We were waiting for feedback from users to help decide whether we would remove this module in the 1.18.0-M2 milestone or not. Since we are running out of time to make changes in the M2 release, it will be easier for us to take care of this ourselves.

@jasonberanek on #6328 you asked for a heads up. The Wavefront registry is going to be removed in
1.18.0(release targeted towards the end of 2026). Nothing is going to change in1.17.xand earlier versions, you can continue using them (ideally as long as they are supported: https://micrometer.io/support/).
