DEPR: Categorical.ravel, get_dtype_counts, dtype_str, to_dense
Starting in on the 0.25.0 section in #6581.
sure @datapythonista im having trouble telling what the checks failure is about.  one thing suggests it is in asvs, but another suggests annotations I just see this error in the benckmarks: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/29900/checks?check_run_id=323732409#step:13:4913

I guess it means that one of the 3 runs was too slow, but you'll know better.

It took me forever to find the error. I think it shouldn't be difficult to highlight failures in the benchmarks, so it's immediate to know what failed. I'll see if I can open a PR for that. Thanks for taking a look.  I agree itd be nice to have an easier way to find when there is a broken asv.  I'm hopeful that #29906 will fix this particular problem Thanks @jbrockmendel
