adapter: Deprecate Amontec JTAG Accelerator driver

The adapter is not available for years now and Amontec is not even a
company anymore. The poor hardware availability and the lack of users
prevents testing, maintenance and adaptations to future changes.

Mark the adapter as deprecated as a first step to give potential users
the opportunity to upgrade the hardware until the next OpenOCD release.
