broken links for placeholdit

Describe the bug

Seems placeholder.com has been bought by someone else.

Maybe replace with something like https://placehold.co/600x400

https://via.placeholder.com/450x250.png - Failed to load resource: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

A while ago, we decided that instead we should deprecate generators that rely on external services. See #2852. This specific generator was missed during that work.

Could you add a deprecation to this instead so we can later remove this generator?

The generator we have control of and recommend using for this purpose is LoremFlickr.

@stefannibrasil How about we merge my PR #3056 as is and then I make a follow up PR to deprecate it?

LoremFlickr does not have the same functionality as PlaceholdIt.
It is missing text and text color.
LoremFlickr returns much larger images.
Also, it currently has some problems which the author describes as crippling

Replace with https://placeholdit.com/600

I’ve switched to placeholdit.com — honestly, it’s even better. High-quality placeholders, blazing fast, and super easy to use. Definitely my go-to now for prototyping and mockups.
