A new warning is now issued when gnatmake or gnatclean sre invoke with -P
indicationg that it is now obsolete and that the support will be removed
in the next release.
Support for project files is an advanced feature that is no longer properly
supported by gnatmake, instead the proper support has been moved to the
gprbuild tool, which contains a separate, cleaner code base, and also
extra dependencies (e.g. on xmlada, and potentially gnatcoll in the future).
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
