Summary

Fixes #3190 . forward_as was a workaround for C++14 when we did not have if constexpr and needed both sides of expressions to be able to be evaluated. Now that we have C++17 we can remove all those and cleanup a good bit of the code

Tests

No new tests

Side Effects

Are there any side effects that we should be aware of?

Release notes

Remove use of forward_as in the math library

The couple CI failures look pretty easy to resolve, but I wanted to ask if there was a reason you didn't remove the forward_as code itself in this PR

Just backwards compatibility. We don't use it but we don't know if a user has it in their code

I think it would probably be fine to remove something like that, but if you disagree we should at least mark it is deprecated

I'll mark it as depreciated. In general I think when we remove functions that should be a major version bump.

@SteveBronder looks like there are a couple usages in https://github.com/stan-dev/stan/blob/develop/src/stan/model/indexing/assign_varmat.hpp that will need to be fixed up
