Show deprecated Status In Search

[ghost]

When searching for a package that is known to be deprecated, such as cldr.js:

(~)-()--> npm info cldr.js | grep deprecated
  deprecated: 'Use package \'cldrjs\' instead' }

We don't see the deprecated nature of that package while using npm search:

(~)-()--> npm search cldr.js
NAME    DESCRIPTION     AUTHOR    DATE       VERSION KEYWORDS
cldr.js Simple CLDR API =rxaviers 2015-01-10 0.3.1   utility globalization internationalization multilingualization localization g11n i18n m17n L10n localize locale cldr json inheritance compiler

I believe the best solution would be to simply exclude packages from the search list if they are deprecated.

If that seems reasonable I'll submit a pull request to implement that behavior.
