Description

I found that REQBODY_PROCESSOR_ERROR and REQBODY_PROCESSOR_ERROR_MSG were deprecated in this commit:
https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/commit/d0e2546f9b13d61558ca4fdf096d99248a8f28ca

It appears that these variables have not been assigned any values in the v2/master branch since then.

Therefore, I think we should either remove REQBODY_PROCESSOR_ERROR and REQBODY_PROCESSOR_ERROR_MSG from the v2 wiki pages or add a note explaining that they are deprecated.

I also think they should be removed from the v3 wiki pages.

Research direction

Review commit d0e2546f9b13d61558ca4fdf096d99248a8f28ca, then search the v2 and v3 wiki pages for REQBODY_PROCESSOR_ERROR and REQBODY_PROCESSOR_ERROR_MSG. Done means removing the deprecated variables from the relevant pages or adding a clear deprecation note consistently.
