Remove deprecated echo process directive#7206

Conversation
The `echo` directive was deprecated long ago in favor of `debug`. This removes the `ProcessBuilder.echo()` alias and the `echo` fallback in `TaskConfig.getDebug()`. Using `echo` in a process now resolves to `BaseScript.echo()`, which throws a `DeprecationException` with a clear message pointing users to `debug`.
