What does this PR do?

PR 1 out of 3 regarding model deprecation/deletions for v5

We now define a new {model type: last version where it was supported} mapping, which we use to:

  • automatically set deprecation warnings (when set version > current version)
  • automatically trigger informative exceptions in AutoClasses (when set version < current version, i.e. after the corresponding model is deleted)

This should improve our messaging to the users and allow us to stop investing energy in low-usage architectures.

🤗 inspired by our vllm friends 🤗


Follow-up PRs:

  • 2 out of 3: Move a few models into the deprecated folder, as discussed on slack (target deletion version: 5.2, two minor versions after the first release that will have the deprecation warning)
  • 3 out of 3: Delete models that were previously in the deprecated folder (most of them don't work in main in any case 👀 ). If it's not too complex, define import-time exceptions for the deleted classes (e.g. when a user tries to call from transformers import XXXModel, XXXModel being a deleted class).
