Description

What

Retired themes have all of their instructions removed, instead just displaying an ominous notice about the theme being retired.
Image

There's nothing wrong with a user deciding to keep using a retired theme, and hiding all of the information does those users a disservice and also increases our support load. We should display the written instructions we do for any other theme, and remove the ominous warning.

Why

See earlier discussions: paYJgx-42V-p2#comment-4214 & #78604 (comment) - which is discussing other improvements to the retired theme experience.
