Remove flush_and_reserve_invalid_assuming_no_entities (bevyengine#16460)

# Objective

`flush_and_reserve_invalid_assuming_no_entities` was made for the old
rendering world (which was reset every frame) and is usused since the
0.15 retained rendering world, but wasn't removed yet. It is pub, but is
undocumented apart from the safety comment.

## Solution

Remove `flush_and_reserve_invalid_assuming_no_entities` and the safety
invariants this method required for `EntityMeta`, `EntityLocation`,
`TableId` and `TableRow`. This reduces the amount of unsafe code &
safety invariants and makes bevyengine#16047 easier.

## Alternatives
- Document `flush_and_reserve_invalid_assuming_no_entities` and keep it
unchanged
- Document `flush_and_reserve_invalid_assuming_no_entities` and change
it to be based on `EntityMeta::INVALID`


## Migration Guide
- exchange `Entities::flush_and_reserve_invalid_assuming_no_entities`
for `reserve` and `flush_as_invalid` and notify us if that's
insufficient
