Issue
The restart functionality was original added to support a research project. It turned out to be unnecessary. Since features should not be added for such a purpose and it is not clear if the feature is useful in this form, it should be removed. To my knowledge it is unused and removal will have no impact on users, but should still be categorized as such in the release notes.
Approach
Update the documentation generator, which was broken
Remove the restart functionality from the configuration and the code
Remove the related tests
Rewrite and rename a test that was using the functionality
PR title captures the intent of the changes, and is fitting for release notes.
Added appropriate release note label
Commit history is consistent and clean, in line with the contribution guidelines.
Make sure unit tests pass locally after every commit (
git rebase -i main --exec 'pytest tests/ert/unit_tests -n logical -m "not integration_test"'
