rseq: Deprecate RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags

Browse Source 
The pretty much unused RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags introduce
complexity in rseq, and are subtly buggy [1]. Solving those issues
requires introducing additional complexity in the rseq implementation
for each supported architecture.

Considering that it complexifies the rseq ABI, I am proposing that we
deprecate those flags. [2]

So far there appears to be consensus from maintainers of user-space
projects impacted by this feature that its removal would be a welcome
simplification. [3]

The deprecation approach proposed here is to issue WARN_ON_ONCE() when
encountering those flags and kill the offending process with sigsegv.
This should allow us to quickly identify whether anyone yells at us for
removing this.
