[PATCH wayland] protocol: Add deprecation note about wl_shell

[Jonas Ådahl]

Now that xdg_shell is stable and much better defined than wl_shell we
can finally deprecate wl_shell and guide users towards xdg_shell
instead.

Eventually we can consider adding deprecation attributes the
<interface> XML nodes that'll turn into compiler warnings, but this is
at least a start moving away from wl_shell. I imagine the wl_shell users
today (SDL, GLFW at least) to hopefully migrate soon, but keep the
wl_shell as a fallback for the time being while compositors add support
for xdg_shell. So we probably don't want to add compiler warnings for
them just yet.
