Deprecating Boba Straw

[thenursegreg42069]

Issue Type

[ ] bug report
[x] feature request

## Current Behavior

Boba Straw is our in-house oracle that is used for gas price estimation among other things. Data for this was previously supplied by Folkvang. Folkvang stopped providing the data. No other teams to our knowledge use Boba Straw. Instead of paying Folkvang to restart the feed, we will be deprecating Boba Straw and transitioning its dependencies to other sources. This will save us in the range of hundreds of USD per month plus eng maintenance time.

## Expected Behavior

1- Any services that rely on Boba Straw should be transitioned to other sources and tested.
2- Boba Straw can be turned off and deprecated.
3- Any documentation referencing Boba Straw should be updated to point to other solutions.

## Suggested Fix
Boyuan will be managing this from the engineering side.

Just as a side note: I think we are using BobaStraw for Account Abstraction.

Is there anybody that can confirm this? This might change things if it would break AA

Just checked, BobaDepositPaymaster for example is using BobaStraw, but that's more or less a way for projects to integrate with AA.

So, if we deprecate Boba Straw we would basically need to change the oracle or switch to a general alternative if we want to keep it. AA itself should be fine.

@souradeep-das can you confirm this?

thanks @wsdt! that is correct, the paymaster will have to point to a new oracle then, but AA should be fine

Thx Souradeep!

@thenursegreg42069 seems like we are good to go. Opened a related issue.
