fix(config): deprecate the report_as field for challenges (#1311)

* fix(config): deprecate the report_as field for challenges

This was a bad idea when it was added and it is irresponsible to
continue to have it. It causes more UX problems than it fixes with
slight of hand.

Closes: #1310
Closes: #1307
