build: officially deprecate waf

While the waf build has served us well for many years, it's time to
officially consider it deprecated. The meson build was added fully with
the intention to eventually replace waf and its current state is more
than good enough to do that. Let's start the deprecation period now to
give users a heads up to switch before we remove waf for good.
