Deprecating boards comes with similar challenges as with board aliases,
since BOARD_DEPRECATED is also set after parsing BOARD as user input.
With this patch, a deprecated board can be properly translated to a
board with identifiers. This opens up the possibility of recording all
legacy board names in `boards/deprecated.cmake`, such as:
set(mps2_an521_remote_DEPRECATED mps2/an521/cpu1)
Unlike with aliases, though, there are additional restrictions for
building with BOARD=<deprecated>, which only makes this feature suitable
for deprecating v1 boards:
* BOARD=<deprecated>/<identifier> is never allowed.
* BOARD=<deprecated>@<revision> is not allowed if the old board already
corresponds to a new board revision:
set(<deprecated>_DEPRECATED <new-board>@<new-revision>)
Future enhancements will be needed for deprecating v2 boards.
