Migrate off deprecated Paragon components

[adamstankiewicz]

There are 13 deprecated Paragon components; they have been deprecated for awhile now (most, over 2+ years), but we haven't prioritized removing them from Paragon's React component library since they are still in use and don't have great visibility into the impacts on those consumers.

The Paragon Usage Insights tool may be helpful in identifying where these components are used with links to the exact code line where it's used (note: some links are broken due to the "repository" field in package.json files not being consistent), e.g.:

The deprecated components and their replacements, which can be seen on Paragon's documentation website), are as follows:

• CheckBoxGroup (replaced by Form.CheckboxSet)
• Checkbox (replaced by Form.Checkbox)
• Fieldset (replaced by Form.Group)
• Input (replaced by Form.Control)
• InputSelect (replaced by Form.Control)
• InputText (replaced by Form.Control)
• ListBox (turns out, not used anywhere! 🎉)
• RadioButtonGroup (replaced by Form.RadioSet)
• TextArea (replaced by Form.Control)
• ValidationFormGroup (replaced by Form.Group)
• Modal (replaced by new modal components, e.g. AlertModal, MarketingModal, etc.)
  • If there are questions about which modal to use, please reach out to the Paragon Working Group.
• StatusAlert (replaced by Alert)
• Table (replaced by DataTable)
  • If there are design related questions, please reach out to the Paragon Working Group.

Once we are confident we can migrate off these deprecated components, the Paragon Working Group will prioritize removing them from the component library in a separate issue.

Looks like we're almost done. Let's see if a final push gets it over the line over the next couple of weeks.
