I am just saying that we do not display it. Logging it with deprecation
warning make sense as for other dropped levels.

because API is actually `make_proposal` which returns hash with a lot
of entries see
https://github.com/yast/yast-yast2/blob/master/library/general/src/lib/installation/proposal_client.rb

so simple messages will be very confusing as there is already
preformated_proposal which holds info about proposal.
Now it uses "warning" and "warning_level" for warning that happen
during proposal. It have problem that only one can happen and it is
variously workarounded, see for example packager - 
https://github.com/yast/yast-packager/blob/93d41b2891706e779bab9e921c5f8693eb2720f9/src/modules/Packages.rb#L464

where it increase level if it is not big enough and concating warning
messages, which is not nice. and each module have to do it on its own.

And also it is not just messages, but message with its severity. So
maybe we can call it "issues" or "problems" instead of "warnings", but
it should fit into that list of map keys.

For me target is SP3 as it need also adaptation in other modules and it
also change behavior for warnings ( after change it will show popup
even for warnings ) which is quite big change in behavior.
