    syscons: add deprecation notice
    
    syscons(4) is not compatible with UEFI, does not support UTF-8, and is
    Giant-locked.  There is no specific timeline yet for removing it, but
    support for the Giant lock is expected to go away in one or two major
    release cycles.  Add a deprecation notice to avoid surprises, and help
    ensure that any material deficiencies in vt(4) become known.
