As various discussions about broken lua api revealed we've got need for proper handling of old and sometimes broken lua api calls.
In order to get rid about them we need a way to give mod authors chance to replace them prior removal.
This patch adds (configurable) logging of deprecated functions mod authors are suggested to set
"deprecated_lua_api_handling" to error in order to replace those calls as soon as possible.
Server owners running >>>release build<<< don't need to do anything as legacy handling is done there.
Everyone running >>>debug build<<< will see log messages about deprecated functions, unless having manually set "deprecated_lua_api_handling" to "legacy"
