86box-manager: Deprecate manifest

[BlackWinnerYoshi]

86Box 5.0 introduced its own integrated manager, "meant to replace the old 86Box Manager and other simple front-ends": https://86box.net/2025/08/24/86box-v5-0.html

Closes #13899 (since the old Manager doesn't seem to be detecting 5.x+ in any way?)

Fixing licenses and old designs,
Homepage gleams with brighter light,
Suggestions pruned—the manifest is right!

bucket/86box.json (3)

12-14: No action needed—the change is correct as-is.

The 86box-manager.json manifest does not exist in this repository, so there is no manifest to mark as deprecated. The removal of the "86Box Manager" suggestion from the 86box.json manifest correctly reflects that 86Box 5.0+ includes an integrated manager.

---

4-4: Homepage URL is valid and accessible.

The official 86Box website at https://86box.net/ returns HTTP 200, confirming the URL is properly configured for the homepage field.

---

5-5: License designation is accurate.

The change from GPL-2.0 to GPL-2.0-or-later correctly reflects the 86Box repository's actual license, which is GPL version 2 or later.
