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: asterisk#183 UpgradeNote: The users.conf config is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Asterisk.

Improvement Description
This deprecates
users.conf, which is largely irrelevant today and has been criticized since the beginning as something that never should have been added.There isn't a "deprecation" category so I'm marking this as an "improvement", since it will simplify the codebase a fair bit from a developer perspective and also simplify for users since they won't get cryptic warnings about something they shouldn't be doing anyways.
