Description
Summary:
Deprecate the stansummary option autocorr.
Description:
This option displays the autocorrelations for a single chain for all draws, printed to the console. If the user specifies the -c option, to save the summary as a CSV file, the autocorration information is not saved, but printed to the console.
I've never seen this feature used. If people want it, it should be its own report. It makes the code slightly more difficult to understand and therefore maintain.
Current Version:
v2.35.0

Research direction
Start at the stansummary entry point and trace how the autocorr option is handled. Confirm the project's deprecation process and define the affected user-facing behavior before making changes; done means the option is deprecated consistently and its console and CSV behavior is addressed.
