What changes were proposed in this pull request?
4.0.0 provided interim backwards compatibility to custom encoders via AgnosticExpressionPathEncoder in SPARK-49960 pr #50023. As part of that PR AgnosticExpressionPathEncoder was deprecated from the get go with a commitment to remove it in 4.1, this PR covers that tech-debt removal.
Why are the changes needed?
AgnosticEncoder's support encoding on both connect client and classic driver side, #50023 provided a migration path to 4.x with the intention to have software migrate to direct AgnosticEncoder usage (with custom encoders using TransformingEncoder/Codecs).
This PR reduces tech-debt via removing this bridge / migration support code.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No
