ARM: update DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT removal timeline

Browse Source 
This configuration option is for the older boot method that preceeded
ATAGS. This was scheduled for removal back in 2001, but the removal
never happened, presumably because nobody cared enough to actually do it,
not because there are any users left.

Add "(DEPRECATED)' to the Kconfig line and update the timeline so we can
remove it next year along with the other options that are not scheduled
for that timeframe.

This was deprecated in 2001 and announced to live on for 5 years.
Some old boot loaders still use this way.
It is now scheduled for removal in early 2027.
# Compressed boot loader in ROM. Yes, we really want to ask about
# TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
