Reason for deprecation

There's currently bug that affects AMD Polaris GPUs: ValveSoftware/gamescope#1218

User "ammgws" bisected and found the commit 82e3632 which, breaks the Gamescope on Polaris cards.

I propose deprecation of the gamescope to the 3.14.2 (with HDR patch) for the time being. I've successfully built this version and ran it - tested with Halo: MCC, everything seems fine. Haven't tested HDR though.

I messed it up, it shouldn't be "deprecation request" - more like "downgrade request".
I've created proper bug report: #2486
