xlc support for __attribute__((__deprecated__))

Add support for the GNU GCC __deprecated__ function attribute to allow in-source flagging of deprecated functions. The feature outputs a warning message during compilation for any usage of the function (with filename/line number) and where the deprecated function is declared (again, with filename/line number info).

    This RFE is inline with our multiyear strategy and is a valid RFE. It has not yet been put into plan for a future compiler version. This RFE will be updated when it is put into plan.
