Description

At this point, cassandra-cli has been deprecated for longer than a year (since 1.2) with a warning that it would be removed in 3.0.

There are several tricky bugs and unsupported table options in it, so it's out of date as well.

Even before that, we've been urging people to use cqlsh for a while.

There are several tickets in 3.0 that would require modifying (deprecated) cli - e.g. #6717 - so to not do that redundant work, I suggest we kill it early.
