Record Component attributes

[Jonathan Gibbons]

These days, deprecation is indicated by an annotation, with the 
DEPRECATED attribute supported as a hangover from when deprecation was 
indication solely by a tag in the javadoc comment.

I suspect the only way to deprecate record components is via 
annotations, so it may not make sense to support the DEPRECATED 
attribute for record components.
