Description

An exercise is usually deprecated in prob-specs when we recommend that a different exercise is implemeted instead. Therefore an exercise that is deprecated in prob-specs should probably eventually be deprecated on the track (after implementing the replacement exercise), and configlet could advise as such.

Prompted by https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/pull/1921#issuecomment-1015115391 - configlet is one way of notifying tracks that an exercise has been deprecated.

If configlet should do it, should we do it in `configlet sync`, `configlet info`, or both?

One alternative: open an issue on every track when an exercise is deprecated in prob-specs.
