    bsdlabel: add deprecation notice
    
    gpart is the preferred tool for managing partitions of all types,
    including BSD disklabels.
    
    Note that this is only about bsdlabel/disklabel, the tool -- there is no
    current plan to remove support for MBR or BSD disk labels from the
    kernel or from gpart.
