[llvm-c] Deprecate functions working on the global context (#163979)
One of the most common mistakes when working with the LLVM C API is to
mix functions that work on the global context and those that work on an
explicit context. This often results in seemingly nonsensical errors
because types from different contexts are mixed.

We have considered the APIs working on the global context to be obsolete
for a long time already, and do not add any new APIs using the global
context. However, the fact that these still exist (and have shorter
names) continues to cause issues.

This PR proposes to deprecate these APIs, with intent to remove them at
some point in the future.
