Deprecate jimtcl Git submodule

jimtcl was integrated as Git submodule for convenience and probably also
because packages were not widely available at the time. Today, jimtcl is
available in many popular package repositories [1] and the integration
as Git submodule adds unnecessary complexity to the OpenOCD build
process. For details, see the discussion on the mailing list in [2].

Disable the jimtcl Git submodule by default and announce it as
deprecated feature that will be removed in the next release. This gives
package maintainers time to adapt to the change and, if necessary,
build a package for jimtcl.
