as: add deprecation notice to the man page
In the future FreeBSD will ship without GNU binutils 2.17.50. Add a note advising users who require GNU as to install the binutils port or package. Note that on armv7, arm64, amd64, i386 we currently ship only two binutils tools (as and objdump). A deprecation notice was added to objdump's man page some time ago. PR: 233611 Discussed with: jhb MFC after: 1 week Relnotes: Yes Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
