This flag does nothing since the deactivation of
the dsp_mask field of AVCodecContext in
commits 9ae6ba288368be42dbd77613e07255d38bbba40e and
9ae6ba288368be42dbd77613e07255d38bbba40e (it has
been superseded with better ways to override the CPU flags).
So deprecate it.

(Missing version bump in this patch.)
