    start process of deprecating non-sql compatible legacy configurations 
(#15713) (#15895)
    
    Starting the process to officially deprecate non SQL compatible modes by 
updating docs to aggressively call out that Druids non SQL compliant modes are 
deprecated and will go away someday. There are no code or behavior changes at 
this PR.

 ### SQL compatible null handling
+These configurations are deprecated and will be removed in a future release at 
which point Druid will always have SQl compatible null handling.
 
 Prior to version 0.13.0, Druid string columns treated `''` and `null` values 
as interchangeable, and numeric columns were unable to represent `null` values, 
coercing `null` to `0`. Druid 0.13.0 introduced a mode which enabled SQL 
compatible null handling, allowing string columns to distinguish empty strings 
from nulls, and numeric columns to contain null rows.

compatible three-value logic when processing native Druid filters when

value logic for filter processing, even when

 By default Druid stores segments in a SQL compatible null handling mode. 
String columns always store the null value as id 0, the first position in the

indicate the null valued rows, which is used to null check aggregations and for
