Using AS object and target for deprecations

[aisaac]

The current spec for Deprecate (https://ld4.github.io/entity_metadata_management/0.1/#deprecate-entity) relies on dual activities for when a mention to the new entity is present.

Could this be represented by using AS target property? This would be in line with the use of AS for the Move activity in the IIIF Change Discovery API spec. It seems it would make the list of activities a bit more homogeneous and flatter (no bundle of activities).

It's also compatible with having several entities being involved in the replacement (see issue 95)

Decision 2023-10-23 is that we will not recommend the use of target though it may still be used. target would handle some simple cases or replacement but we are not sure what fraction of case though (e.g. a split). We will revisit this later as a possible addition for a future version.
