Deprecate <presentation:animations> ?

Hmm. So there's sd/source/core/EffectMigration.cxx, which in turn gets
used by Impress' uno implementation in
sd/source/ui/unoidl/unoobj.cxx.

And I see odf importer code at xmloff/source/draw/animimp.cxx, used
from ximppage.cxx.

So my hunch is both LibreOffice and AOO still support at least a
subset of that (one would have to create a few old-style animations in
OOo 1.x to verify if it actually _works_).

On the other hand, clearly all of that is superseded by the SMIL stuff
(which is much more expressive anyway), so deprecation sounds like a
pragmatic choice to reduce pointless duplication in the standard...
