Document deprecation of version-specific SSL/TLS methods

Browse source 
In commit 2b8fa1d56c the version-specific SSL/TLS methods were
deprecated. This patch improves the documentation of that change
by stating the deprecation more prominently in the manual page
and explaining the reason for the deprecation.

Fixes #8989

Use of these functions is deprecated. They have been replaced with the above

code should use those functions instead.
These functions do not exist anymore, they have been renamed to
TLS_method(), TLS_server_method() and TLS_client_method() respectively.
Currently, the old function calls are renamed to the corresponding new
ones by preprocessor macros, to ensure that existing code which uses the
old function names still compiles. However, using the old function names
is deprecated and new code should call the new functions instead.
