We've said we're going to deprecate SBI-0.1 for a while now, but I
didn't find that written down anywhere. So mark SBI-0.1 as deprecated
and print a timeline for that deprecation on systems that probe it.
This also hides the Kconfig behind EXPERT, in the hope that doing so
will poke users to notice the deprecation.

I don't know if there's some normal way to mark things as deprecated,
this is just the best I could come up with this morning.

This config allows kernel to use SBI v0.1 APIs. This will be
deprecated in future once legacy M-mode software are no longer in use.
