Deprecation notice for change to interface of julia_plot

[DaveWitteMorris]

#23740 makes a backward-incompatible change to the interface of julia_plot. The purpose of this ticket is to provide a deprecation notice. Can this notice get into the 9.0 release?

This ticket is part of the metaticket #28923.

Component: dynamics

Keywords: Julia set

I will try to write a PR by tomorrow. I propose to revert julia_plot to its original interface (with a deprecation notice), and introduce an experimental function julia_set_plot with the new interface.

I have rated this as a major issue, but I am a newbie, and the function is not a core piece of sage, so I will not be surprised if someone downrates it (or tells me that I am out to lunch).

I agree that ideally the changes to julia_plot should have been backwards compatible or properly deprecated. It might be too late to get this into 9.0, though, since we are already on 9.0.rc1, which is unfortunate.

I'm sorry I didn't get a deprecation notice ready in time for the 9.0 release. I think it is now pointless, but I will work on the other projects in #28923.

No need to be sorry. It should have been done by #23740.
