Initial awk implementation available at [1], but currently only supports
showing eclass deprecation replacement/message even though all tag
groups are supported. I'm open to ideas for how variable/function
deprecation tag info should be formatted for manpages.
The tag syntax is currently the following:
# @DEPRECATED: <optional; replacement ("none" for no replacement)>
# <optional deprecation message>
This could be simplified to a single line if we want to force the usage
of @DESCRIPTION for additional deprecation info, but I think splitting
long deprecation info out is helpful.
