Brooks Davis 4591322980 oce(4): deprecate
The Emulex OneConnect NIC driver hasn't seen any commits other than ioctl
bug fixes (some severe) and sweeping commits since 2016.  There is no
indication of new parts since 2014 or earlier.  As such, deprecate the
driver with the aim of removing it prior to FreeBSD 15.
