selinux: Deprecate /sys/fs/selinux/user

Browse Source 
The only known user of this interface was libselinux and its
internal usage of this interface for get_ordered_context_list(3)
was removed in Feb 2020, with a deprecation warning added to
security_compute_user(3) at the same time. Add a deprecation
warning to the kernel and schedule it for final removal in 2025.

What: /sys/fs/selinux/user
Date: April 2005 (predates git)
KernelVersion: 2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org
Description:
The selinuxfs "user" node allows userspace to request a list
of security contexts that can be reached for a given SELinux
user from a given starting context. This was used by libselinux
when various login-style programs requested contexts for
users, but libselinux stopped using it in 2020.
Kernel support will be removed no sooner than Dec 2025.
