Description
*Feature idea*
It would be very useful if you could net jet remove, but deprecate unused User Defined keywords with ```[documentation] *DEPRECATED on ${date}* ```
Like: https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#deprecating-keywords
That would also allow for a report printing a table on when what keyword was removed and even automatic removal when a keyword has been deprecated for x time.
Or even setting up a auto clean policy
```Deprecation report
| Keyword name | deprecation date | auto-remove date |
```
This would've saved me so much work in maintaining my user defined keywords
Send me a message if you like more input!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Robot Framework User Guide section on deprecating keywords and how this inspector currently handles user-defined keywords. Define the scope for marking unused keywords, producing a deprecation report, and applying an optional automatic-removal policy; the issue does not identify files, tests, or an exact completion criterion.
