The user informing: some methods of AppiumDriver/MobileElements should be marked @Deprecated with the definition of the reason

[TikhomirovSergey]

Majority (I think) of end user community uses java_client for the native app testing. Some methods which work against web/HTML UI won't work at this case:

• Methods related with the finding by css values/link tests doesn't work at all or at all most all cases.
• I'm suspecting that methods of Selenium Mouse/Keyboard interfaces don't work too. If it is impossible to reimplement them then they should be declared as deprecated.

So I think an end user has to be informed about these things.

It should definitely be noted somewhere, though the CSS/link selectors work on mobile web, which a large % of users use Appium for.

In web context of hybrid apps too.

I'm thinking about the adding of information to JavaDoc only...
