Deprecates UseCompressedClassPointers. For the lengthy description of why and how we do this, please read the lengthy [CSR](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8350754).
Testing:
I ran all jtreg tests manually on Linux-x64 that used the flag in some form (55 tests) to ensure they don't trip over the added deprecation output.
I also tested the JVM on arm32 to verify that UseCompressedClassPointers had never been available there, and that we don't start printing a confusing deprecation message now.
