The txindex was moved to its own database in #13033. As part of that change, data migration functionality was added, allowing the txindex to be maintained across upgrade without having to rebuild the entire index from scratch:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/5cf28d5203a6203355283ea59f071af6a468d239/src/index/txindex.cpp#L75-L90

13033 was included in v0.17, released in October 2018 and EOL in August 2020. Anyone who hasn't upgraded at this point is running unsupported code, and shouldn't have expectations around upgrading their node without having to rebuild the index. We should simplify the code by removing the `MigrateData()` functionality.

/**
 * CChainState stores and provides an API to update our local knowledge of the
 * current best chain.
 *
 * Eventually, the API here is targeted at being exposed externally as a
 * consumable libconsensus library, so any functions added must only call
 * other class member functions, pure functions in other parts of the consensus
 * library, callbacks via the validation interface, or read/write-to-disk
 * functions (eventually this will also be via callbacks).
 *
 * Anything that is contingent on the current tip of the chain is stored here,
 * whereas block information and metadata independent of the current tip is
 * kept in `BlockManager`.
