Please mark these modules as deprecated, not obsolete.

An *obsolete* module is one which one which gnulib-tool will omit when it is
used merely as a dependency [1] — which is not what we want here.

A *deprecated* module is one for which the user needs to do some action
(such as, use another module instead and update the #include statements). [2]
