autodoc.pl: Generate missing pod for back-compat symbols
It's a pain to write documentation. That helps explain why We have >3K
undocumented symbols visible to the outside world.
With symbols that are retained just for backwards compatibility, that
may well be all that a module maintainer needs to know: Don't use it for
new code. And that pod can be automatically generated.
This commit adds that ability and uses it for 4 symbols. There are
dozens more that could benefit from this, but I'm starting with just
these to get people's reactions.
