Deprecate puppeteer-firefox in transition to Firefox support in puppeteer

See original GitHub issue

As of v2.1.0 puppeteer has alpha-level support of Firefox Nightly via the protocol described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Remote.

Meanwhile, puppeteer-firefox and the “Juggler” fork of Firefox that it depends on are no longer maintained for some time.

Add a deprecation message to the puppeteer-firefox package, but keep it available for the time being.
Remove the code under /experimental
Remove unit test runs against Juggler from CI (#5136 )
Add deprecation message to Juggler repo; archive it.

@mathiasbynens Proposed deprecation warning to add to puppeteer-firefox package:

Firefox support is gradually transitioning to the puppeteer package. As of puppeteer v2.1.0 you can interact with Firefox Nightly. The puppeteer-firefox package will remain available until the transition is complete, but it is no longer actively maintained. For more information visit https://wiki.mozilla.org/Remote
