Style deprecation notices in the API reference - #329

Style the `deprecated` admonition class like a warning, but with the `material/grave-stone` icon and its own colour, so deprecation notices read as deprecation notices and not as generic warnings. That class is what a hand-written `Deprecated:` admonition in a docstring produces, and also what the griffe extension added next will emit, so a single rule covers both sources.

Wire the `griffe-warnings-deprecated` extension into the mkdocstrings handler options, so every symbol decorated with `typing_extensions.deprecated` gets a "Deprecated" admonition in the API reference with no docstring edit at all. The extension's `kind` is set to `deprecated` rather than the default `warning`, so it emits `class="deprecated"`, which is exactly what a hand-written `Deprecated:` admonition produces. The CSS rule added in the previous commit then styles both, and the two are visually indistinguishable. That matters because the decorator cannot reach everything: module-level aliases, a single function argument, enum members and whole modules still need the admonition written by hand.

Preparation for the client-common 0.4.1 update, so deprecation notices already look right by the time it adds them.
Two things: a CSS rule that styles the
deprecatedadmonition class (gravestone icon, its own colour, otherwise like a warning), and the griffe-warnings-deprecated extension wired into the mkdocstrings handler so symbols decorated withtyping_extensions.deprecatedget an admonition generated for them.The extension's
kindis set todeprecatedrather than the defaultwarning, so what it emits is markup-identical to a hand-writtenDeprecated:admonition. One rule styles both, which matters because the decorator cannot reach module-level aliases, a single function argument, enum members or whole modules.
