Deprecate `cupy.sparse` package

See original GitHub issue

Rel #3420.

CuPy’s sparse matrix feature was initially implemented as cupy.sparse package, and is moved to cupyx.scipy.sparse package with keeping cupy.sparse for backward compatibility.

Is it good time to deprecate cupy.sparse package?

I like it. I think one full release cycle then deprecation is a fair amount of time to give users, especially if it is clearly noted in cupy 8 release notes.

@jakirkham Thank you for the quick actions!

Is cupy.cusparse affected by this change?

cupy.cusparse remains as is.

Also one last question, what timeline are we planning to make this change on?

I think raiseing deprecation warning in v8rc1 and remove in v9 is the best, but if you have concerns we can delay the deprecation.
