I had a look through `all-the-themes` and `all-the-plugins`, and there are just a couple of public plugins which need fixing up. I made PRs here: (cc @merefield @angus)

Godfrey did some digging for us into why the JQuery commit triggered this, and his findings are in [this PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24101). So, it’s technically possible for us to restore this functionality, but it involves applying a patch to an upstream dependency which is not ideal.

Given the complexity, and that we’d be removing them in a few months anyway, I think it makes sense to just double-down on the removal now. I’ve formalised that in this PR:
