Deprecate this package: LiveObjects now ships from ably-cocoa

[sacOO7]

Summary

Marks this package as deprecated in the README and directs users to the LiveObjects plugin's new home: as of ably-cocoa 1.3.0, the plugin is developed, versioned and released from the ably-cocoa repository as the AblyLiveObjects product of the ably-cocoa package.

Companion to the ably-cocoa 1.3.0 release PR: ably/ably-cocoa#2243. Implements the README half of "Release coordination" item 1 from ably/ably-cocoa#2222.

Changes (deliberately minimal — 3 lines)

• Deprecation warning replaces the old experimental notice: package deprecated, no further releases from this repository, with a single pointer to the LiveObjects section of the ably-cocoa README, which carries the installation instructions and the migration-guide link.
• Releases section: states the final release here is 0.4.1 (published by Release version 0.4.1 #138) and points new versions at ably-cocoa.
• Support section: issues link swapped to the ably-cocoa repository (also fixes "community reported" → "community-reported").

Why no migration content here

Migration instructions (package swap, path-based API changes, and the verbatim multiple packages declare targets with a conflicting name resolution errors) live in one place: the migration guide in ably-cocoa's LiveObjects/README.md, added by ably/ably-cocoa#2243. That file is versioned alongside the code it describes and stays updatable, whereas this README freezes when the repository is archived — duplicating the guide here would guarantee staleness. This is a deliberate refinement of ably/ably-cocoa#2222's coordination item 2 (which suggested quoting the resolution errors in this README): the quote's searchable home is the linked guide, one click from the warning above.

Merge sequencing

⚠️ Preferably merge after ably/ably-cocoa#2243. The warning's ably-cocoa#liveobjects anchor already resolves on today's main, but the migration-guide link inside that section only appears once #2243 merges.

Out of scope / follow-ups (rest of coordination item 1)

• Cap the Package.swift ably-cocoa dependency and cut a final capped release — done: Release version 0.4.1 #138 capped the dependency to "1.2.59" ... "1.2.62" and the 0.4.1 tag/release are published.
• Archive this repository (transferring open issues to ably-cocoa) once the ably-cocoa 1.3.0 release is published.
