Use deprecation flag from BCD

See original GitHub issue

Currently MDN has a separate deprecation tag and the header. Could it use the deprecated flag from BCD and autogenerate such header, so that there won’t be two separate source of truth?

(BTW, is the Deprecated tag still a thing in Yari? I don’t see it rendered anywhere, except the header.)

@schalkneethling There’s a bit to unpack here. This discussion captures some of the issues involved: https://github.com/mdn/content/discussions/5549. That said, the underlying idea—drive this stuff from BCD—is a good idea. But there’s two distinct tasks that would come from this:

Generate usage (“traffic light”) banners based on support and statuses (standard track, experimental, and deprecated). This would be a bit of a content/design/engineering effort.
Remove existing macros and tags. A content effort, after the previous step.

Not sure if we should open separate issues, hijack this one, or what. Also related: https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/1400#issuecomment-961880928
