Closes matplotlib#30796. State that the use of the colormaps gist_gray, grist_yarg, binary is discouraged. To be clear: We don't have a plan to depreacte them. Even though I've decided to remove them from the plotting and only mention them by name in the admonition to de-emphasize them in the docs and push towards the recommended alternatives.
