Depreciation warnings

• Call for new volunteer maintainers for INWX, NAMEDOTCOM, and SOFTLAYER. These providers have no maintainer. Maintainers respond to PRs and fix bugs in a timely manner, and try to stay on top of API changes.
• ACME/Let's Encrypt support is frozen and will be removed after December 31, 2022. The get-certs command (renews certs via Let's Encrypt) has no maintainer. There are other projects that do a better job. If you don't use this feature, please do not start. If you do use this feature, please plan on migrating to something else. See discussion in #1400
• convertzone is frozen and will be removed after June 30, 2022. The convertzone stand-alone program is replaced by the get-zone subcommand of DNSControl. It does everything convertzone did and more.
• Provider ACTIVEDIRECTORY_PS is frozen and will be removed after June 30, 2022. It is replaced by MSDNS which is 100% feature compatible and works better. (We believe nobody uses it.)
• get-zones syntax changes in v3.16 Starting in v3.16, the command line arguments for dnscontrol get-zones changes. For backwards compatibility change provider to -. See documentation for details.
