Removes broken support for "anonymous mode". The mode has not been functional for some time and is unmaintained.

Third-party or user code that sets anonymous mode will emit a warning once per process but continue to work. Users may see a warning if they had previously used wandb login --anonymously, but using wandb login will cause it to go away.

I decided on a 6-month removal timeline because there are integrations out there (such as PyTorch Lightning's WandbCallback) that unconditionally pass anonymous. In releases that include this PR, those integrations will emit a warning.
