Documentation: gpio: mention that <function>-gpio has been deprecated

The gpiolib supports parsing DT properties of the form <function>-gpio
but it was only added for compatibility with older DT bindings that got
it wrong and should not be used in newer bindings.

The commit that added support for this was:

dd34c37a ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names")

but didn't update the documentation to explain this so it's been a source
of confusion. So let's make clear this in the GPIO documentation.

GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named
either <function>-gpios or <function>-gpio, where <function> is the function
the driver will request through gpiod_get(). For example:
<function>-gpios, where <function> is the function the driver will request

Properties named <function>-gpio are also considered valid and old bindings use
it but are only supported for compatibility reasons and should not be used for
newer bindings since it has been deprecated.
This property will make GPIOs 15, 16 and 17 available to the driver under the
"led" function, and GPIO 1 as the "power" GPIO:
