AP-25387: Remove deprecated HubItemVersion in favor of ItemVersion

[3nol]

• Remove all mentions of HubItemVersion, LinkType, and HubItemVersionPersistor.
• Hollow-out these classes to keep API, but always throw UOEs.
• Replace occurences by the org.knime.core.util.hub.ItemVersion.
• See URLResolverUtil for many convenient utilities.

AP-25387 (Remove deprecated HubItemVersion and its LinkType)

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR removes the deprecated HubItemVersion class and related deprecated types (LinkType, HubItemVersionPersistor), replacing their usage with the newer ItemVersion API. The deprecated classes are hollowed out to throw UnsupportedOperationException while maintaining their API surface for backward compatibility until complete removal.

Key changes:

• Refactored URLResolverUtil to use ItemVersion.match() and ItemVersion.convertToItemVersion() instead of internal pattern matching logic
• Updated ItemVersionStringPersistor to use static factory methods from ItemVersion
• Replaced all test and production code references from HubItemVersion to ItemVersion
