Currently there are mechanism to mark a system variable as
deprecated, but they are only used to print warning messages
when a deprecated variable is set.
Leverage the existing mechanisms in order to make the
deprecation information available at the --help output of mysqld by:
* Moving the deprecation information (i.e `deprecation_substitute`
attribute) from the `sys_var` class into the `my_option` struct.
As every `sys_var` contains its own `my_option` struct, the access
to the deprecation information remains available to `sys_var`
objects. `my_getotp` functions, which works directly with
`my_option` structs, gain access to this information while building
the --help output.
* For plugin variables, leverages the `PLUGIN_VAR_DEPRECATED` flag
and set the `deprecation_substitute` attribute accordingly when
building the `my_option` objects.
* Change the `option_cmp` function to use the `deprecation_substitute`
attribute instead of the name when sorting the options. This way
deprecated options and the substitutes will be grouped together.

remove old deprecation helpers that were not used anywhere.
create new deprecation helpers and enforce their usage
this also removes inconsistencies in reporting deprecation:
sometimes it was ER_WARN_DEPRECATED_SYNTAX (1287),
sometimes ER_WARN_DEPRECATED_SYNTAX_NO_REPLACEMENT (1681),
sometimes a warning, sometimes a note.
it should always be
* ER_WARN_DEPRECATED_SYNTAX
* a warning (because it's something actionable, not purely informational)
Print the warning(note):
YEAR(x) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use YEAR(4) instead
on "CREATE TABLE ... YEAR(x)" or "ALTER TABLE MODIFY ... YEAR(x)", where x != 4
for general use.
