Details:

We currently don't have a way to deprecate properties as we do for built-in
functions. 

The attached patch is a first attempt to do so:
* add a way to mark a property as deprecated (new "d" flag for genprop.awk) so
that users are automatically warned when they us it
* add a .tst file in which we can check that a given property has disappeared
from a given version.
