Before, I was mixed on doing this as ideally people would upgrade
through the minor releases, going through the release notes. This also
saves us havin to audit deprecations to make sure they are all pointing
to the latest.

First, this isn't practical for users. Its annoying to pin your version (at least
its easier now that we pin clap_derive for users) and a lot of work to
go through them one step at a time.

On top of that, we've changed our deprecation policy to put the timing
of responding to deprecations into the user's hands with, with us
putting them behind the deprecated feature flag. This means someone
might respond to deprecations every once in a while or might not do it
until right before the 4.0 release. Our deprecation messages should be
updated to respond to that.

This supersedes #3616
