users.conf: Deprecate users.conf configuration.

This deprecates the users.conf config file, which
is no longer as widely supported but still integrated
with a number of different modules.

Because there is no real mechanism for marking a
configuration file as "deprecated", and users.conf
is not just used in a single place, this now emits
a warning to the user when the PBX loads to notify
about the deprecation.

This configuration mechanism has been widely criticized
and discouraged since its inception, and is no longer
relevant to the configuration that most users are doing
today. Removing it will allow for some simplification
and cleanup in the codebase.

Resolves: #183

UpgradeNote: The users.conf config is now deprecated
and will be removed in a future version of Asterisk.
