    WW-5707 chore(core): deprecate legacy restful and restful2 action mappers 
(#1882)
    
    The core restful (RestfulActionMapper) and restful2 (Restful2ActionMapper)
    mappers predate the Struts REST plugin, which is the maintained way to build
    REST-style applications. Mark both classes @Deprecated(forRemoval = true) 
and
    point their javadoc to the REST plugin; removal is tracked as WW-5708.
    
    Fixes: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5707
