dccp: Print deprecation notice.
DCCP was marked as Orphan in the MAINTAINERS entry 2 years ago in commit
054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp: move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"). It says
we haven't heard from the maintainer for five years, so DCCP is not well
maintained for 7 years now.
Recently DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major distros disable it
by default.
Removing DCCP would allow for better organisation of TCP fields to reduce
the number of cache lines hit in the fast path.
Let's add a deprecation notice when DCCP socket is created and schedule its
removal to 2025.
