Can we remove FuelHandler.prepSearch?

[john-science]

It appears to me we should be able to remove the method FuelHandler.prepSearch():

armi/armi/physics/fuelCycle/fuelHandlers.py

Line 207 in 0977ee4

def prepSearch(self, *args, **kwargs):

Because it hasn't done anything but raise a DeprecationWarning in years:

armi/armi/physics/fuelCycle/fuelHandlers.py

Lines 226 to 230 in 0977ee4

	warnings.warn(
	"`FuelHandler.prepSearch` is being deprecated from the framework. Please "
	"change your fuel management input to call this method directly.",
	DeprecationWarning,
	)

I can find no downstream uses of this method either.

Oh yeah. This hasn't been touched for a long time and just spits a DepracationWarning. I say time to remove the warning and just yank it!

This might impact downstream fuel handling scripts internally. Maybe note this to @onufer

[john-science]

@onufer If there is some downstream code calling this and just getting a DeprecationWarning, let me fix that down stream code so it doesn't and we can safely delete this.

I guess the only other option is there are some downstream scripts which are sub-classing this and using it. That would be a different situation.
