Bootmagic Deprecation and Refactor (#12172)

QMK has decided to deprecate the full Bootmagic feature and leave Bootmagic Lite as the only remaining option.

This pull request changes the behavior of BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE such that specifying BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = yes enables Bootmagic Lite instead of full Bootmagic.

Tentative Deprecation Schedule

This is the current planned roadmap for the behavior of BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE:

  • From 2021-05-29, setting BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = yes will enable Bootmagic Lite instead of full Bootmagic.
  • From 2021-08-28, BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE must be either yes, lite, or no setting BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = full will cause compilation to fail.
  • From 2021-11-27, BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE must be either yes or no setting BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = lite will cause compilation to fail.
