Lint to identify "deprecated at birth" APIs.
When API council requests changes, teams regularly perform the
requested refactoring, but simply mark the old APIs as @Deprecated
without @removed, due to internal users.
As part of finalizing an SDK, we should ensure that no new APIs are
marked @Deprecated, since they're typically cleanup that someone
forgot to finish. This extension to the lint script makes it easy
to identify these cases.
