Replace `qiskit` metapackage with `qiskit-terra` (#11271)

* Replace `qiskit` metapackage with `qiskit-terra`

This commit completely removes the concept of the `qiskit-terra` package
from Qiskit main.  The hitherto metapackage `qiskit` is promoted to be
the concrete code package.

This is a completely breaking change for packaging purposes for users,
as there is no clean upgrade path from `qiskit-terra` to `qiskit`; PyPI
and pip do not give us the tools to mark that the former obsoletes and
supersedes the latter.  We intend to follow this PR with a technical
blog post somewhere explaining the changes, how users should adapt
("to install Qiskit 1.0, you must start a new venv"), and why we needed
to do this.

The "why", in part, is:

- the metapackage legacy causes awkward upgrade paths on every release;
  some packages still depend on `qiskit-terra`, some on `qiskit`, and
  pip will happily make those two get out-of-sync when upgrading a
  transitive dependency with only a warning that users are used to
  ignoring.

- with the 1.0 release, we (believe we) will have some leeway from users
  to make such a breaking change.

- having the metapackage split makes it difficult for downstream
  projects and developers to test against `main` - they always must
  install both `qiskit-terra` and `qiskit`, and the latter has no
  meaning in editable installs, so needs re-installing after each
  version bump.  Problems surrounding this have already broken CI for
  Qiskit, for at least one internal IBM repo, and at least my dev
  install of Qiskit.  This could be improved a bit with more education,
  but it's still always going to increase the barrier to entry and make
  it much harder to do the right thing.

We will not publish any 1.0 or above version of `qiskit-terra`.  All
dependents on Qiskit should switch their requirements to `qiskit`.
