Robert Hensing 33e02424d2 lib: Document status of deprecated.nix and move it 
This is all I could find after co-maintaining lib for a long time.
I've had the fortune of basically not really noticing this file,
because it has had very few interactions until the confusion in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/304277

It seems to be a state of limbo, which would be nice to resolve
(with great care), but this is not urgent, and first we should
document its status.

lib/deprecated

Do not add any new functions to this directory.

This directory contains the lib.misc sublibrary, which - as a location - is deprecated. Furthermore, some of the functions inside are of dubious utility, and should perhaps be avoided, while some functions may still be needed.

This directory does not play a role in the deprecation process for library functions. They should be deprecated in place, by putting a lib.warn or lib.warnIf call around the function.
